The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has unmasked 58 fraudulent investment schemes operating across Nigeria, warning the public about their illegal activities and financial dangers.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by the EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, the anti-graft agency disclosed that these companies were operating without valid registration from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) or the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), making them illegal financial entities.
According to the EFCC, many of these firms lure unsuspecting Nigerians with promises of high returns on investments, only to defraud them of their hard-earned money.
The revelation follows separate correspondences received from both regulatory bodies confirming that these entities lacked proper authorization to conduct financial transactions.
The EFCC has already begun prosecuting several of the firms involved in these fraudulent schemes. Five companies have been successfully convicted, while another five have pleaded guilty and are awaiting a review of facts.
Other cases remain in various stages of arraignment as the EFCC continues its crackdown.
“This is part of our ongoing efforts to cleanse the Nigerian financial landscape and protect citizens from exploitative schemes.
The Commission remains vigilant in monitoring illegal economic activities and will continue to enforce the law to safeguard the public,” Oyewale said.

The agency reaffirmed its dedication to dismantling financial scams and protecting citizens from predatory financial schemes.
“We advise Nigerians to always verify the legitimacy of any financial institution with the SEC or CBN before committing their money. The EFCC will not relent in its efforts to prosecute fraudulent actors and recover stolen funds,” Oyewale added.
The Commission called on victims of these fraudulent schemes to come forward with complaints and assured them that ongoing legal proceedings aim to ensure justice and possible restitution.
