Nigeria Deports 42 Convicted Foreign Cybercriminals, 150 More Set for Exit

The Nigerian Immigration Service, in collaboration with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has commenced the deportation of foreign nationals convicted of cybercrime and Ponzi scheme offences.

On Sunday, 42 out of 192 Chinese and Philippine nationals, earlier convicted by the Federal High Court in Lagos, were flown back to their countries. The first batch of deportees departed Nigeria around 2:00 p.m. local time from Lagos airport, where they were sighted in large numbers before boarding their flight.

The deportees are part of the 759 suspects arrested by the EFCC during a major raid on Oyin Jolayemi Street, Victoria Island, Lagos, on December 10, 2024.

According to EFCC, the remaining convicted nationals will be deported in phases on Monday and Tuesday, as all convicts have been officially handed over to the Nigerian Immigration Service for onward repatriation.
