The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has actually revealed the arrest of a political leader in connection with the theft of over 200 million naira (roughly $246,153) from Patricia Technologies’ crypto wallet.
In a current post on X (previously Twitter), the NPF stated the arrest of Wilfred Bonse was made following an examination carried out by the NPF’s National Cybercrime.
According to Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the force’s public relations officer, Bonse is implicated of working together with hackers to wash 50 million naira (around $61,538) from the taken funds.
The charges versus him consist of criminal conspiracy, unapproved change of computer system systems and network information, and the illegal diversion of funds going beyond 200 million naira.
These claims were detailed in a petition sent to the inspector general of authorities.
