EFCC Probes Rapper Oladips’ ₦10m Extortion Claim, Suspends Operatives

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has launched an investigation into an allegation made by Nigerian rapper Oladipupo Oladimeji, popularly known as Oladips, who accused some of the commission’s operatives of extorting ₦10 million from him during his detention in 2024. Oladips made the claim during an interview on the Trending podcast, where he recounted being arrested along with several residents of his estate in Lagos during an EFCC midnight raid in November 2024. The rapper said he spent five days in custody before being released, despite no incriminating evidence being found against him. “They collected ₦10 million from me before they released me. They didn’t find anything on me. So, what was the money for? What was all that stress and suffering for? It’s just Nigeria. Nigeria just happened to me,” he said. Reacting to the claim, the […]

Nigeria Launches Landmark ISO Standard to Bolster Anti-Fraud Framework

Nigeria has unveiled a groundbreaking anti-fraud framework with the official launch of the ISO 37003:2025 Fraud Control Management Systems standard, in partnership with the British Standards Institution (BSI). The landmark initiative, coordinated by the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON), was launched in Abuja by the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr. Jumoke Oduwole, represented by Jachinma Agu, deputy director of reforms. Oduwole described the standard as more than just another regulation, but a “collective resolve to shield Nigeria’s economy from fraud — a hidden tax on development.” “Fraud increases the cost of doing business, erodes investor confidence, stifles innovation, and undermines public trust,” she said. According to the minister, ISO 37003:2025 equips organisations to identify fraud risks, apply proportionate controls, detect illicit activities, and respond swiftly to incidents. She urged both government agencies and private firms to adopt the […]

The Chief Executive Officer of the We Love Nigeria Unity and Peace Initiative (We Love Nigeria), Anaba Chimele Anthony, has cautioned that cybercrime poses a serious danger to Nigeria’s growth and future development. Speaking in Abuja during the launch of a nationwide sensitisation campaign against internet fraud, Anthony described cybercrime as a growing national embarrassment, particularly among young people.

FG rejects US report on lack of transparency in procurement

The Federal Government has dismissed a report by the United States Department of State alleging that Nigeria lacks transparency in its public procurement process. The 2025 Fiscal Transparency Report had listed Nigeria among 32 African countries said to have made little or no progress in the fiscal policy space. While acknowledging that Nigeria had improved in publishing budget documents and debt obligations, the report faulted the country for failing to disclose information on public procurement contracts. It also criticised the Office of the Auditor-General of the Federation for not publishing comprehensive audit reports, citing weak institutional independence as a major setback. The report recommended that Nigeria should strengthen the independence of its supreme audit institution, make procurement information easily accessible, and publish timely audit reports of executed budgets. Out of 139 countries and the Palestinian Authority assessed, the report found […]

N5.7bn Fraud: EFCC Moves to Seize Sujimoto CEO’s Assets

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has secured a court order against Sijibomi Ogundele, CEO of Sujimoto Luxury Construction Limited, over alleged diversion of ₦5.7 billion meant for 22 Smart Green School projects in Enugu State. Ogundele, whose accounts and international passport had earlier been seized, is now facing remand while investigations continue. The EFCC may also seek a fresh court order to confiscate his personal and company assets. The anti-graft agency declared Ogundele wanted two weeks ago for alleged money laundering. He later took to social media, blaming inflation and “underpriced contracts” for failing to deliver the projects. The Enugu State Government, however, accused him of absconding after receiving a 50% mobilization fee of ₦5.76bn, abandoning sites, and refusing to attend project briefings. In a statement, the government said: Ogundele delivered only shoddy and structurally weak work at […]

Sirika Denies ₦100bn Nigeria Air Scam, Says Only ₦3bn Released

Former Aviation Minister Hadi Sirika has dismissed claims that the Nigeria Air project under former President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration was a ₦100 billion scam, insisting the initiative was conceived with good intentions and due process. Speaking on Channels Television’s Morning Brief on Tuesday, Sirika described the reports as misleading. “It is a lie that I spent ₦100 billion. The total budget for the national carrier was ₦5 billion, the total amount released was ₦3 billion, and I left the ministry with over ₦1 billion,” he said. The former minister explained that Nigeria Air was structured as a public-private partnership (PPP) and regulated by the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC), which participated actively in the process and issued necessary certificates. The controversial project, launched shortly before Buhari left office, has since come under scrutiny, with Sirika facing trial for alleged corruption […]

EFCC Invites Victims of CBEX Fraud to Aid Investigation

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has called on Nigerians who lost money to the fraudulent cryptocurrency platform, Crypto Bridge Exchange (CBEX), to report at its zonal offices in Ibadan and Lagos. According to EFCC spokesman Dele Oyewale, the platform lured investors with promises of unrealistic returns, leading to huge financial losses for many. The Commission is prosecuting three suspects — Adefowoara Abiodun Olanipekun, Otorudo Avwerosuo, and Ehirim Justice Chukwuebuka — over their alleged involvement in the scheme. Victims who invested through CBEX-linked offices in Ibadan and Idimu, Lagos, are urged to assist investigations by reporting to the EFCC Ibadan Zonal Directorate at 164, Reverend Oyebode Crescent, Iyaganku, Ibadan, or the Lagos Zonal Directorate 2 at 7A, Okotie-Eboh Street, Ikoyi. EFCC said the step was necessary to secure justice for victims and strengthen prosecution efforts.
