Nigeria has deported 99 foreigners—60 Chinese and 39 Filipinos—convicted for involvement in crypto romance scams. The deportees were part of a massive syndicate uncovered in December 2024, when the EFCC raided a Lagos hub and arrested 792 suspects, including 148 Chinese and 40 Filipinos. These syndicates used fake online personas to lure victims into fraudulent cryptocurrency investments, often called “pig butchering.” Seized items included computers, SIM cards, and vehicles. Following convictions, EFCC and Immigration began mass deportations in August 2025, underlining Nigeria’s tough stance against cybercrime and foreign-led digital fraud networks exploiting its infrastructure and recruiting local operatives.
