The FBI has arrested a Nigerian tech entrepreneur, often referred to as a “tech queen,” in connection with a multi-million dollar fraud scheme. She is accused of leading a sophisticated cyber fraud operation involving business email compromise (BEC) scams that targeted U.S.-based companies and individuals. The scheme allegedly involved impersonating executives and manipulating financial transactions to steal millions of dollars. U.S. authorities claim she used the proceeds to fund a lavish lifestyle, including luxury cars and properties. The arrest underscores growing concerns about cybercrime networks operating internationally and highlights the increasing scrutiny of online financial fraud originating from West Africa.
