The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has officially removed Ellie Bitar, a foreign national, from its wanted list in connection with the alleged fraud involving the Crypto Bridge Exchange (CBEX) trading platform.
Bitar had initially been declared wanted by the anti-graft agency on April 30, with his details widely circulated on social media, including a notice posted on EFCC’s official X (formerly Twitter) handle. The notice, now deleted, had listed Bitar’s last known address as Lekki Phase 1, Lagos.
