FG asks Nigerians indicted by FBI to surrender

Image
Nigerians indicted by the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) probe have been asked to surrender themselves or risk getting extradited if international treaties are invoked. Recall that 77 Nigerians were arrested by the FBI, following an investigation which uncovered how they conspired with federal and state agents to dupe unsuspecting American victims of their money. The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) in a statement released by its chairman, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, admitted that an accusation does not mean guilt while also expressing hope of a fair and speedy trial. Dabiri-Erewa also disclosed that these Nigerians currently prosecuted by the FBI were linked to cases of massive email fraud and money laundering.
