On February 20, 2025, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arraigned 14 Filipino nationals before the Federal High Court in Lagos on charges of cyber-terrorism and internet fraud. The defendants were apprehended during a significant operation in December 2024, where the EFCC arrested 792 individuals, including 148 Chinese and 40 Filipinos, at the Big Leaf Building in Lagos.
This facility functioned as a call center targeting victims primarily from the Americas and Europe, luring them into fraudulent cryptocurrency investments and romance scams. The EFCC’s investigation revealed that Nigerian accomplices initiated contact with potential victims through phishing, after which foreign nationals executed the fraudulent schemes. The arraignment of these 14 Filipinos marks a critical step in prosecuting those involved in this extensive cybercrime network.
