The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has assured Nigerians who invested in the CBEX digital trading platform that efforts are underway to recover and refund their funds.
The anti-graft agency revealed it had been monitoring the activities of the platform before the recent wave of public complaints, which erupted after investors reported being unable to withdraw their funds.
CBEX, which had promised investors a 100 percent return on investment, ran into crisis over the weekend, prompting widespread alarm on social media and among stakeholders.
On Monday, tensions escalated when aggrieved investors stormed and looted the Ibadan office of Smart Treasure—a subsidiary linked to the CBEX platform—located in the Oke Ado area of Oyo State.
The EFCC reiterated its commitment to protecting the public from fraudulent investment schemes, urging affected persons to remain calm as investigations continue.
