A Federal High Court in Lagos has sentenced 15 Chinese nationals to prison for crimes bordering on cyberterrorism and internet fraud.
The convicted individuals were identified as Ling Yang, Xiao Hong Will, Wang Zheng Ming, Wang Jia Qi, Yang Sheng, Peng Sen Lin, Guo Xiao Fei, Chen An Shun, Peng Sen Lin, Zhao Ying Bin, Yu Zi aka Wei Xue Huan, Zhang Yang, Wang Zhi Cheng, Yang Sheng, and Lu Yubo.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) secured the conviction and sentencing of the suspects before two Federal High Court Judges sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos.
This latest conviction comes just weeks after the EFCC secured the conviction of 14 other Chinese nationals for similar offences, marking a significant step in Nigeria’s efforts to clamp down on transnational cybercrime.
