EFCC, Immigration Repatriate 51 More Foreigners Jailed For Internet Fraud
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) have deported 51 more foreign nationals convicted of cyber-terrorism and internet fraud — 50 Chinese and one Tunisian.
The latest exercise, carried out on Thursday, raises the total number of convicted foreigners repatriated to 102 since August 15, 2025.
They were among 192 foreign nationals arrested in Lagos during a sting operation targeting one of Nigeria’s largest foreign-led cybercrime syndicates. Many had earlier been convicted for operating Ponzi schemes, using fake identities to defraud victims, and training staff in fraudulent practices.
EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede described the convictions and deportations as a milestone in safeguarding Nigeria’s financial integrity.
