Lagos Court Slams Nine Chinese Nationals with Jail Time for Cyber-Terrorism and Fraud!
In a landmark ruling, the Federal High Court in Lagos has sentenced nine Chinese nationals to one-year imprisonment each for cyber-terrorism and internet fraud. The convicts—Li Dong, Deng Wei Qiang, Huang Bo, Xiong Zhen, Lai Rui Feng, Zhao Xiao Hui, Liu Hai Rong, Liu Gang, and Du Ji Feng—were found guilty of economic sabotage and financial terrorism. Justice Daniel Osiagor also imposed a ₦1 million fine on each defendant, with all seized items, including laptops and furniture, forfeited to the Federal Government.
This case, prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), underscores Nigeria’s crackdown on cybercrime syndicates exploiting the nation’s digital space. The convicts were part of a larger group arrested during the EFCC’s “Eagle Flush Operation” in December 2024, highlighting the global reach of such criminal networks. As Nigeria strengthens its cybersecurity measures, this verdict sends a strong message: no one is above the law.
