The Nigerian Police Force (NPF) has made an official statement regarding the arrest of Wilfred Bonse in connection to the security breach at Patricia Technologies, the troubled cryptocurrency exchange.

During a press briefing, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the NPF's public relations officer (PRO), revealed that Bonse was arrested on charges related to conspiring to launder N50 million naira, part of the 607 million naira diverted from Patricia's company accounts. The arrest followed the police's tracking of individuals mentioned in Patricia's petition reporting the breach.
