EFCC operatives have arrested 78 people for suspected internet fraud in Imo and Enugu.
The Abuja Division of the Federal High Court on Friday dismissed a bail application filed by Tigran Gambaryan, the detained Binance executive.
According to the EFCC, the offence was committed in Abuja between August 2022 and May 2023.
The court therefore adjourned the case until May 23.
EFCC urged the ministry to convey its displeasure to the embassies and warn them against disregarding Nigeria’s rules and regulations.
Other items were five motorcycles and other incriminating documents among others.
The judge insisted that even if the arrest warrant had been illegally obtained, the defendant (Mr Bello) should have still appeared in court.
“It is important for us to support you in the fight against corruption and asset recovery. I am here to deepen our cooperation,” said the NCA chief.
The arraignment was earlier scheduled for Tuesday, but a new date was given due to the EFCC’s prayer to amend the charge.
A BDC operator at Wuse Zone 4, Abuja’s currency exchange hub, confirmed EFCC’s raid to Peoples Gazette.
