On Thursday, February 6, 2025, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arraigned nine Chinese nationals and a company, Genting International Co. Ltd., before Justice C.J. Aneke of the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos. The defendants—Su Dong Fu, Zheng Xian Tao, Wang Shi Long, Pan Cai Qi, Ting Liao, Fan Jia, Feng Li Cani, Lu Yong Yao, and Yang Chen Cheng—face charges related to cybercrimes, cyber-terrorism, possession of documents containing false pretenses, and identity theft.
These individuals are part of a larger syndicate of 792 suspects apprehended on December 10, 2024, in Lagos during an operation dubbed “Eagle Flush Operation” by EFCC operatives. The operation targeted individuals involved in cryptocurrency investment and romance fraud schemes.
Upon reading the charges, all defendants pleaded not guilty. Prosecution counsel M.K. Bashir requested trial dates and the remand of the defendants in a correctional facility. Justice Aneke subsequently scheduled the trial for February 21 and March 7, 2025, and ordered the defendants to be held at the Ikoyi Correctional Centre until then. 
This arraignment follows a similar proceeding two days prior, where the EFCC arraigned 11 Chinese nationals on comparable charges before the same court.
