Nigerian man Friday Audu led a scam network using fake gaming firms to launder billions, targeting victims via dating apps.
EFCC operative Rasheeda Chindaya testified in Lagos on January 14, 2026, revealing that Friday Audu orchestrated a major international scam network using fake gaming firms like Genting International Ltd and Anhongs to launder billions of naira.
Audu, linked to the companies via his Bank Verification Number and as sole signatory on their accounts, funneled funds through Bureau De Change operators and converted them into USDT cryptocurrency.
The syndicate, which targeted victims via dating apps, recruited 792 suspects—mostly Nigerian youths and foreign nationals—and operated from offices in Lagos, including a building on Oniru Island.
Audu received N74 million for operational expenses, while associates earned between N200,000 and N800,000 monthly.
The case continues with charges including forgery, impersonation, and computer fraud, and is set for further hearings on February 24 and 26, 2026.
