$225,000 From Nigerian Crypto Fraudster By EFCC, Toronto Police
The Toronto Police Service, in collaboration with Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has recovered $225,000 from a Nigerian crypto fraudster, Omonkhoa Precious Afure, and returned it to the victim of a 2021 cryptocurrency scam. The victim was initially defrauded of over $355,000 through a fraudulent platform called Legacyfxtraders.online.
The scam began when the victim communicated with a Facebook user, “Moshe Theodor McNigh,” who gained their trust and encouraged the investment. The joint investigation, spanning three years, involved several agencies, including the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Nigeria’s EFCC.
In December 2024, Nigerian courts declared the recovered funds as belonging to the victim and ordered restitution. The case underscores the importance of international cooperation in combating cybercrime and highlights Nigeria’s efforts to address financial crimes globally.
