The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has raised an alarm over a surge in fraudulent foreign currency transfer claims.

In a statement released on Tuesday and signed by its Acting Director of Corporate Communications, Mrs Hakama Ali, the CBN cautioned Nigerians to be vigilant against falsified SWIFT documents used to support these claims. Ali said that many complaints have emerged from individuals and organizations alleging that foreign funds transferred to their accounts have not been credited, often accompanied by unverifiable SWIFT MT103 forms.

The CBN clarified that it does not provide correspondent banking services and urged those facing genuine issues to contact the sender’s bank for resolution, rather than escalating matters to the CBN.
