The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Thursday, 15 May 2025, arraigned a Chinese national, Li Kuang Kuang, before Justice Daniel Osiagor of the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos, on charges bordering on cybercrime.

According to an official signed statement by Dele Oyewale, Head, Media and Publicity, the defendant was arraigned on a one-count charge for allegedly accessing a computer system with intent to destabilize and destroy the economic and social structure of Nigeria—an act classified as cyber-terrorism.

Li was among 792 suspects arrested in Lagos during a coordinated sting operation code-named Eagle Flush Operation on 19 December 2024. The crackdown targeted a syndicate engaged in cryptocurrency investment and romance scams.

The charge against him reads:

“That you, Li Kuang Kuang and Genting International Co. Limited, sometime in December 2024 at Lagos, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, willfully caused to be accessed a computer system for the purpose of destabilizing and destroying the economy and social structure of Nigeria, and thereby committed an offence contrary to and punishable under Section 18 of the Cybercrime [Prohibition, Prevention, Etc] Act, 2015 [As Amended, 2024].”

The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge when it was read in court.

Following his plea, the prosecution counsel, U.S. Kyari, requested a trial date and asked that the defendant be remanded in custody.

Justice Osiagor granted the request, ordering that Li be remanded at the Ikoyi Correctional Center and adjourned the case to 18 July 2025 for trial.

The EFCC reiterated its commitment to pursuing cybercrime cases and bringing both local and foreign offenders to justice in line with Nigerian law.
