As many Nigerians continue to be swindled of their money, the Nigerian anti-graft commission has raised an alarm over the prevailing scamming of citizens by 58 unlicensed companies operating as government endorsed financial firms.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) issued a sound warning over the activities of 58 companies operating illegal Ponzi schemes across the country, some of which align to agriculture, gold, investments, food amongst many false decoys.
The anti-graft commission in a statement issued on Tuesday warned that the companies are defrauding innocent Nigerians of their hard-earned money by masquerading as legitimate investment firms.
According to the EFCC, none of the companies are registered with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) or with the Security Exchange Commission (SEC).
Both regulatory bodies, in separate correspondences with the anti-graft agency, denied any affiliation with these entities, reinforcing the illegitimacy of their operations.
The EFCC disclosed that legal actions have already been initiated against several of these firms. The Commission noted that while five companies have been convicted, another five have plead- ed guilty and are awaiting a review of facts, while cases against the remaining firms are pending arraignment.
The companies include Wales Kingdom Capital, Bethseida Group of Companies, AQM Capital Limited, Titan Multibusiness Investment Limited, Brickwall Global Investment Limited, Farmforte Limited & Agro Partnership Tech, Green Eagles Agricbusiness Solution Limited, Richfield Multiconcepts Limited, Forte Asset Management Limited, (Biss Networks Nigeria Limited, S Mobile Netzone Limited, Pristine Mobile Network), Letsfarm Integrat ed Services, Bara Finance & Investment Limited, Vicampro Farms Lim- ited, Brooks Network Limited, Gas Station Supply Services Limited, Brass & Books Limited, (Annexation Biz Concept & Maitanbuwal Global Venturescrowdyvest Limited,) and Crowdyvest Limited.
