EFCC operatives disclosed that preliminary investigations revealed a well-coordinated network of deceit targeting young Nigerians desperate for educational opportunities abroad. Victims were lured with enticing offers of tuition-free programs and guaranteed visa approvals in countries such as the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
The Commission stated that the suspect would be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded. It also advised Nigerians to exercise caution when dealing with unverified travel agents and to always confirm the authenticity of foreign scholarship offers before making any financial commitments.
The EFCC reaffirmed its commitment to curbing all forms of financial and cyber-related crimes, urging citizens to report suspicious activities to the nearest EFCC office or through its official online platforms.
