The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) said it has frozen over 300 accounts allegedly linked to illicit foreign exchange (FX) trading.
EFCC chairman, Ola Olukoyede, said the agency secured a court order to freeze the accounts.
“There are people in this country doing worse than Binance,” he said.
On February 27, Olayemi Cardoso, governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), said $26 billion passed through Binance Nigeria from unidentified sources in one year and that the CBN was collaborating with security and anti-graft agencies to tackle illicit financial flows in the country.
