Exclusive: Admiral Group Nigeria, a Scam- Cardiff Office Confirmed, EFCC, others should note

Exclusive: Admiral Group Nigeria, a Scam- Cardiff Office Confirmed, EFCC, others should note

 The Admiral Group Nigeria which claimed to be a branch of the main Admiral Group headquartered in Cardiff, United Kingdom has been confirmed to be a scam.


The Admiral group (ADM) office in Cardiff earlier in an exclusive telephone conversation with the Group Admin of Latest News Dele Abiola said, the company has no branch in Nigeria and that the company has offered no online job opportunities for anyone. (The UK company was reached via it's public telephone number: +44 333 220 2062)


Also in a reply to the message queries on the Instagram page of the group, ADM  said it has no branch in Nigeria. The Cardiff company denied having anything doing with the website and app link (https://adm56.com) With which Nigerians have been offered online scam job.



However, while the Cardiff office denied having any branch in Nigeria and refuted the web and app link, the profile message of the scam site says otherwise.



(Updated)
The scam site has been using more than three different account numbers to collect money from those buying into their online scam job. Out of the three account numbers, only one looks company while the other two are individuals.

Company account

Individual account


Individual account

Another individual account


The ADM Nigeria which plans to celebrate it's 5th year anniversary in Lagos by January 15th 2022 account to the latest announcement on the website and app has been defrauding and collecting money from unsuspecting Nigerians base on it's designed VIP levels.



The NIGERIA ADM also assigned online daily tasks per each level to make it look real as each subscriber has a numbers of tasks and prices attached also per  each level:







The online site stopped honouring withdrawal request of it's online employees in December citing banks closures for  Christmas and new year holidays. (This against the internet banking services) It promised to resume payment by January 4th 2022.

 Instead of resuming payment on the said date, it cancelled all pending withdrawal orders of the employee subscribers. ADM then asked all employees to pay personal income tax of 7% upfront for three months before withdrawal can be made and honoured. According to the info on the online site and it's app, such was the request of an agency in the Nigeria's federal ministry of finance.


It also added that the verification of the individual app/web account will be done by the Nigeria's Central Taxation Bureau.

Latest News opened that these are unfunded and contrary to the direct taxation faced by employees as the said 7%VAT can be deducted even without the consent of the employees before the final payments are made into the individual employee's bank account. This is the usual practice in all governmental , public and private organizations in Nigeria.

Reaching out to most of the ADM Nigeria admins on phones and via WhatsApp messages for clarifications and request for the government's paper (s) for such their actions, while most of their phone numbers were perpetually switch off,  some refused to pick calls and one of them threatening to be an herbalist,  others who choose to respond have neither been able to provide any clarification or any government paper of instructions to such effect  as members of their groups were also demanding to see such information they received from Nigeria's Central Taxation Bureau as claimed by ADM.

 They further resulted to threatening their subscribers that their account balances will be wiped off should they not pay their personal income taxes before the deadline.




The least invested amount of money paid into those accounts to secure the said  online job  is #17,000 with the highest been #6,800,000


Some who have considered themselves been scammed have reached out to the EFCC on the Eagle Eye app.

While investigation still continues, Latest News  calls on the Nigeria's finance Ministry and central taxation bureau as claimed by ADM or FIRS to make public if their is any information as regards what Admiral Group Nigeria has been display both in the website and in it's app.

Also it has not been established that the Admiral Group Nigeria is registered by the Nigeria's Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC)

EFCC and other appropriate anti graft agencies are hereby called upon to monitor and investigate the above bank accounts as well as the activities of the fake Admiral Groups in Nigeria.

Negative comments as EFCC Arrests 28 for Alleged Internet Fraud




Negative comments and Opinions by the social media users have been trailing the various arrest made by the Anti-graft agency of the federal government of Nigeria.

According to the EFCC, seventeen (17) of the suspects were arrested in Awka, Anambra State while 11 others were arrested in Enugu, Enugu State, following actionable intelligence on their alleged involvement in internet fraud. 

Some of the comments on the EFCC page by some of those who took Their time to respond to the latest arrest made by the body include:

#EndSARS will be a joke compared to what is coming because your unprofessional and highly unlawful conducts has become a course of worry for every right thinking person.

Stop invading peoples privacy!

Do investigation first!

Arraign the Criminals in Aso Rock!

Stop victimizing Southern Youths!

And stop selective so called corruption fight!


Good morning
Is this commission aware of the recent tactics your men on the field are using recently?...
Breaking down someone's door early in the morning in search of Yahoo boys in truly absurd and unprofessional..why not gather enough Intel before going for an arrest ...young Nigerians now can't sleep properly because of cultist,armed robbers, Fulani herdsmen and now EFCC..

The clock ⏰ is ticking small small, they have just started from where SARS stopped, they now burst ppl houses, hotels $ bars, stop and search ppl phones on the road, Hmmmm...Okay ooo, we will see how it goes since they have started bringing them self so low to the extend of mountain road blocks just to get boys arrested. They should be more concerned with the insecurity that is going on in the country if they know what they’re doing. Hungry ppl everywhere

It is not good to envy someone on social media or tapping from blessings you know nothing about. They will be oppressing people with legit hustle up and down.🙅. This is just the beginning. Prophet TB Joshua before he died said: Whatever ILLEGAL means of making money would go away be it Politicians and others. He said Nature has started this judgement somewhere. If not now, Judgement would definitely knock at their door, it's coming to them. Only genuine hustle would last, don't give up on your real hustle. Nature is fighting back. Few months after that prophecy, Hushpuppy was arrested.

Efcc will only seize their belongings,jail them for like 2months and release them thereafter


This new EFCC man dey try.

As him no know wetin to do.

He knocks down hotel doors disturbing guests

He scales over people's fences embarrassing innocent professionals

But, when he goes to Aso Rock and sees corrupt politicians, He faints! 😆

Fraud ain't good at all, but EFCC should apply the same intelligence they apply in capturin these Boyz to our politicians. The biggest fraudulent practices is in the government.. Even the EFCC chairman knows..


It is all they know, it is how you raised them. A country where criminals are lawmakers, crooks are judges. That society has no moral rights to blame the youths that they did not train in the first place, their role models are scammers in politics and all they were taught is get the money anyhow if you want to earn respect in the society and that's why they are doing everything to belong. Una go arrest tire until the leadership begins to do the right thing and stop placing money above morality.

They should build more prisons because youths are hopeless in this country , what this country has done to its youths is unfair , you Can't arrest all of them, even that street you raided today if you go back there you will arrest more than 100, Nigeria should release this children apologize to them for failing them and rehabilitate them , give them payable job then watch this crime die a natural death .. If not done very soon the govt will see their own karma visiting them., there will be heavy revolution even efcc will not be spared , I saw this in my dream where they started lynching Efcc official just like SARS and there was riot every where , Government do something now before is too late .. Thank you just an opinion of a humble writer


It's like efcc was created for yahoo boys Only.

Good job EFCC, but also go after the people syphoning our common wealth as well.

Leave Yahoo boys alone and give us the names of those that have been sponsoring Boko boys and bandits in Nigeria.
If you can expose these fraudster why can't you expose as well those sponsors. Is it because they are from a certain part of the country or are they untouchable?
Was EFCC established for a particular region in the country?
Wetin de worry una self?

The only thing you do is arrest, have the ministry in any way tried to advice Federal government the causes of high rate of this crime in Nigeria and some way forward?Its clear and every sensible person can understand the unemployment level among the youth in Nigeria.

Good job ... I think the corrupt politicians are the ones that own the system ... Efcc are employees ooh ... May GOD HELP US ALL

There was an allegations against NFA/ NFF chairman with facts and evidence against him.
You people are just deceiving yourself.
Not Nigerian youth anymore.
Sebi this government go finish one day abi ?
Nothing last forever.
Is only the poor and the less privileged people that EFCC are intimidating...
Shame .
What a shame.
We are wiser now.
So help us GOD amen

By the time EFCC finish putting all our youths behind the bar, and nobody left to uphold the future of our nation then they (EFCC) will rest.

Thanks EFCC ! Please help sanitize our streets. The scamming is too much !


There’s nothing good in what U guys re doing EFCC is nothing short of eating the same money 💰 those guys re making and reselling the car’s back to them,pls before i forgot where’s MAGU all of U join we no come Nigeria 🇳🇬 we Dey ground EFCC and Yahoo boys re like APC and PDP in Nigeria non of them is to be trusted

Southern re the problems of this country, Is the only region that has criminals in every household. Its famously known as a den of fraudsters,armed rubbers,kidnappers,freedom beggar, drug dealers.


You are doing your job good , but why the bursting of people houses and hotels …. Why can’t you get a warrant and go for arrest …are you guys above the law of making arrest with warrants ….

When will EFCC start jailing all these politicians that destroyed Nigeria? Or is it only yahoo boys they are empowered to arrest?

But we never see pictures and such sensational stories about fraudulent politicians and security officers who you've got same "actionable" intelligence about.

So EFCC should stop using stories of these small fry fraudsters to play to the gallery. It's really becoming an eyesore.

Leaving the substance of corruption and giving its shadow such a hot chase doesn't signify you're doing as well as you want to make the public believe.


Economic and Yahoo commission..... Una go suffer for 600years, Deal with politicians and leave boys alone


Why not show them on their faces to everybody to no them it will help because society no them in person


Wot happens to the confiscated goods?


Dear EFCC, my nebo is using gas to cook beans fa?

If you people continue intimidating the youths, they will rise against u people one day. Thanks

EFCC please come oooo, even with the cost of beans,my own neighbour still added meat while cooking it. Chai!!! NDI YAHOO🙆🙆

Get ready to arrest all Nigerian youths


Efcc is a scam they are chasing shadows while the real thief is cooling off in luxuries and untoucheable.

Most of the recent arrests made by the commission have received similar opinions from the public as they are well informed about the looters of the their common wealth and treasury which the Anti-graft body are unable to touched.

I woke up a while ago to these memos from FUTO. The appointment letter that offered Pantami a fraudfessorship is dated August 20, 2021 BUT the acceptance letter is dated March 30, 2021!


In other words, Pantami accepted a fraudfessorship that hadn't even been formally offered, and then FUTO retroactively offered it.


At this rate, are we even sure that FUTO's Department of Cybersecurity isn't actually the Department of Cyberfraud? Even at that, Pantami won't be qualified to be a professor of practice in cyberfraud because he obviously can't even successfully pull off a simple fraud.


Yesterday, a young cyber sleuth by the name of Dr. Abdulaziz Tijjani discovered that Pantami edited his Researchgate profile to lie that he was an Associate Professor at the Islamic University of Madinah during the two years he taught there, but Pantami forgot that in all the garbage-in-garbage-out journal articles he wrote for predatory journals during his time there, he gave his position as Assistant Professor.


That's an embarrassingly criminal lie, especially for someone who owes his claim to fame to religious piety. This fraud is becoming both multifaceted and deeply distressing!

Igbo Youth Organizations Pledge Support to EFCC in Enugu

Igbo Youth Organizations Pledge Support to EFCC in Enugu









A group of youth organisations in the Southeast comprising the National Association of Nigerian Student, NANS, National Youth Council of Nigeria, NYCN, Ohaneze Ndi Igbo Youths, today September 17, 2021 pledged their support for the fight against economic and financial crimes in the southeast region. They made the pledge during a visit to the Enugu Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes, EFCC.

The leader of the delegation and Vice president of the NYCN, Comrade Innocent Nduanya, who thanked the Zonal Commander, Oshodi Johnson for receiving them at short notice, said the groups were in Enugu to deliberate on issues affecting the welfare of youths in the south east and thought it wise to visit the EFCC to pledge their support. “You are a young man like us and one of our own. We are well meaning Nigerian youths who hate corruption and are trying our best to see that it ends in Nigeria. Our reason for coming to Enugu is to deliberate on issues pertaining to the welfare of the youths in the South east,” he said.

Comrade Darlington Ugwuegbe, the State Secretary of NYCN and coordinator of NANS zone B as well as convener of the GBURUS CARE Initiative, reiterated the groups’ willingness to fight corruption and other social vices in the Southeast. “I am at the forefront of moral rejuvenation among youths. I believe that the youths must know that corruption will lead the nation nowhere. We are law abiding citizens. We hate fraud and related offences and can never be party to it,” he said.

The Zonal Commander, Oshodi Johnson, thanked the groups for embracing the fight against economic and financial crimes. “On behalf of the Executive Chairman of the EFCC, I want to appreciate you for coming to see us this evening. I see your passion in trying to see that corruption is reduced to its lowest in your lifetime. I congratulate you on your integrity because it takes an innocent person to boldly visit the EFCC. You are representing the conscience of your people and I want to thank you for your willingness to own this anti-corruption fight. Indeed if we allow corruption to keep gaining grounds in our nation today, there will be no sane society to bequeath to our children,” Oshodi said.

He urged the delegates to key into the whistle blowing policy of the Federal Government as a means of checking corruption, assuring them that their identities would be protected.

EFCC Charges POS Operators on Compliance with Regulations in Gombe

EFCC Charges POS Operators on Compliance with Regulations in Gombe













The Gombe Zonal Commander of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC Babashani Umar Sanda has charged operators and agents of Point of Sale, POS, in the Zone to strictly comply with all extant laws in the discharge of their duties as failure to do so will attract severe sanctions.

Babashani gave the charge on Wednesday 15th September, 2021 in Gombe, when he received in audience Abdulrahman Aliyu, the Chairman of Gombe State Association of Mobile Money and Bank Agents, and members of his association.

“We invited you here to have a discussion regarding an emerging and dangerous trend, where many fraudulent individuals are resorting to the usage of POS to defraud or withdraw proceeds of their nefarious activities.








“The law is very clear on the usage of POS terminals and CBN has its guidelines and regulations also, but to us, Section 37 (2) of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, Etc.) Act is sacrosanct as that has to do with one of the most important factors in your operations which is KYC,” he said.

The Zonal Commander regretted the absence of record keeping by agents and operators of POS terminals, saying that sometimes it makes tracing of fraudsters cumbersome and the operators end up being victims and paying for crimes they know nothing about.

Responding, the Chairman of Association of Mobile Money and Bank Agents, Abdulrahman Aliyu assured of his organization’s commitment in meeting up with requirements demanded by law but regretted that some illegal operators were giving them bad name.
