The trio allegedly exploited Nigeria’s banking system to siphon billions from two ceramic companies, NB Ceramic Limited and BN Ceramic Industry Limited, between November 2021 and August 2023.

According to the investigation, Liu, a shareholder and director in the ceramic firms, fraudulently posed as the managing director, forging critical signatures to authorize the loans.

“The fraudulent actions of these individuals have not only jeopardized the financial stability of BN Ceramic Industry Limited and NB Ceramic Limited, but have also posed a significant threat to the Nigerian economy,” the appeal to the Department of State Services (DSS) states.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has been petitioned to investigate the matter, with the EFCC spokesperson, Mr. Dele Oyewale, stating that the commission would investigate the matter if a petition is forwarded to it.

“If there’s a petition, then, forward the copy to me, I’ll be able to trace it,” Oyewale said.
