The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Nigerian Immigration Service have deported 51 foreign nationals who were convicted of cyber-terrorism and internet fraud.
According to a statement from the EFCC on Thursday, the latest group of deportees includes 50 Chinese nationals and one Tunisian.
This repatriation took place on Thursday and brings the total number of convicted foreign nationals deported in this ongoing operation to 102 since it began on August 15, 2025.
These individuals were part of a larger group of 192 foreign nationals apprehended during a recent sting operation conducted by the Commission in Lagos.
This operation was initiated based on actionable intelligence regarding one of the largest foreign-led cybercrime syndicates operating in Nigeria.
The EFCC statement read, “This exercise demonstrates our unwavering commitment to ensuring that Nigeria is not a safe haven for international criminals.
“The successful conviction and repatriation of these individuals send a clear message: we will not tolerate the use of our nation’s digital space for illicit activities that undermine our economy and national security.”
