The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has said it is making progress in its ongoing investigations of the alleged monumental fraud involving many actors in the infamous Crypto Bridge Exchange (CBEX) fraud.

TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports the EFCC to have said on Wednesday that is gaining important ground in its search for eight wanted persons implicated in the fraud.

The commission in a statement disclosed the eight wanted persons as: Seyi Oloyede, Emmanuel Uko, Adefowora Oluwanisola, Adefowora Abiodun Olanipekun, Johnson Okiroh Ofienolu, Israel Mbalika, Joseph Michiro Kabera and Serah Michiro.

The EFCC, however, confirmed that Ellie Bitar of CBEX Solutions Ltd., who was earlier declared wanted, has since been removed from the list owing to new information that does not support his inclusion in the wanted person’s list.
