Mr. Ola Olukoyede, Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), says the agency, in its bid to ensure the safety and stability of the foreign exchange market, has uncovered a new fraudulent scheme called P to P, peer to peer trading scheme.
The platform, according to him, is operating outside the official banking and financial corridors ,with more than 300 (three hundred) accounts linked to it already frozen by the EFCC.
He reaffirmed the commitment of the Commission to the economic growth and development of the country, promising that the EFCC would not relent in the exercise of its mandate.
Olukoyede disclosed this while addressing media executives at the Commission’s headquarters in Abuja.
He said the EFCC has recovered more than N120 billion from fraudsters within six months and secured more than 1300 convictions.
He called on Nigerians to be more dedicated to the nation, insisting that patriotic Nigerians should offer more support to the EFCC because the Commission is crucial to the growth and development of Nigeria.
“If you support the EFCC, you are working for the growth of Nigeria. We all have stakes in the wellbeing of our nation”, he said.
