Fifteen Chinese nationals have been convicted and sentenced for cyberterrorism and internet fraud by two Federal High Courts sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Lagos Zonal Directorate 1, secured the convictions before Justices Ayokunle Faji and Dehinde Dipeolu.
The convicts—Ling Yang, Xiao Hong Will, Wang Zheng Ming, Wang Jia Qi, Yang Sheng, Peng Sen Lin, Guo Xiao Fei, Chen An Shun, Zhao Ying Bin, Yu Zi (also known as Wei Xue Huan), Zhang Yang, Wang Zhi Cheng, Yang Sheng (listed twice), and Lu Yubo—were arraigned on separate charges relating to cyberterrorism and internet-related offences.
The EFCC said the convictions followed diligent investigations and prosecution efforts to combat transnational cybercrime.
