On September 14, the Nigerian government filed criminal charges against four individuals and several companies for illegally conducting crypto transactions without a banking license, including exchanging USDT for naira.
The four defendants, Ejiogu A. Chinedu, Nnamdi F. Okereke, Oty Ugochukwu Stanley and Chukwuebuka F. Ogumba, are charged with violating the Banking and Other Financial Institutions Group Act and the Foreign Exchange Act. The case stems from the Nigerian Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) investigation into alleged manipulation of the naira exchange rate and money laundering through virtual cryptocurrency trading platforms.
The Nigerian Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has obtained court approval to freeze suspicious funds of more than $330,000 (S $548.60 million) deposited into the bank accounts of cryptocurrency users.
