The EFCC alleges Audu led a 792-member network defrauding victims globally, with $1.26 million in USDT (Tether) held in a Binance wallet and $1.3 million in a BYBIT wallet, both linked to scams. Arrested on December 10, 2024, during the EFCC’s ‘Eagle Flush Operation,’ Audu pleaded “not guilty.”

Prosecutor Bilikisu Buhari opposed bail, citing damage to Nigeria’s reputation and flight risk. Justice Oshodi remanded Audu to a correctional facility, adjourning the case to June 2–3, 2025, for a bail ruling and trial.
