The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared two additional individuals wanted in connection with an alleged cryptocurrency fraud scheme linked to the collapsed digital trading platform, Crypto Bridge Exchange (CBEX).

The EFCC made this known via a notice issued on its social media accounts on Wednesday, June 4, 2025.

The anti-graft agency identified the suspects as 31-year-old Folashade Odelana and Bamidele Ayodele Abiodun, 32.

The two suspects were accused of orchestrating fraudulent activities on the platform, which reportedly led to substantial financial losses for unsuspecting investors.
