Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has launched a manhunt for four Kenyans suspected of involvement in an incident in which users lost money on a popular cryptocurrency and forex trading platform known as Crypto Bridge Exchange (CBEX).

The watchdog published a list of eight wanted persons, including the Kenyans, in connection with a breach on the CBEX platform which saw the accounts of sections of users in Kenya, Nigeria, and Egypt wiped out about two weeks ago.
