A statement by Force Spokesperson, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, revealed that Williams was also being interrogated over other allegations bothering on cryptocurrency fraud, aiding internet fraud, computer-related fraud, and non-compliance with regulatory frameworks.
“The FCID (NPF-NCCC) is currently investigating complaints lodged against Blord Group, Blord Real Estates Ltd, Blord Jetpaye Limited and Billpoint Technology.
“These offences include allegations bothering on cryptocurrency fraud, aiding internet fraud, computer-related fraud, terrorism funding, and non-compliance with regulatory frameworks,” Adejobi said.
