Operatives of Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have arrested three men in Abuja for allegedly running a fraudulent scheme linked to the Q-net brand and operating a fake university, authorities confirmed on Thursday.
The suspects-Olaniyan Joshua, Oyetunde Julius Akano, and Victor Oluwale-were taken into custody on May 1, 2025. According to the EFCC, they operated under the name “Mighty Infinity Millionaire Limited” and falsely claimed to represent Q-net, a global e-commerce and direct selling company. Q-net has denied any connection to the suspects or their activities.
Investigators say the trio lured victims with promises of university degrees in fields such as Medicine, Nursing, Cybersecurity, and Geology, claiming a partnership with Quest International University in Malaysia. The Malaysian institution has also denied any affiliation. Classes were reportedly held under makeshift pavilions and even under trees.
Victims, mostly students, paid between ₦1.2 million and ₦1.3 million each in registration fees. The EFCC estimates the suspects collected hundreds of millions of naira through the scam.
This latest arrest follows a March 24, 2025, EFCC raid on “Q-net University” in Gwagwalada, Abuja, where 133 suspects were detained for similar offenses.
The EFCC says the suspects are currently under interrogation and will be charged to court after investigations conclude.
Authorities are urging the public to be cautious of fraudulent schemes and to verify the legitimacy of organizations before making financial commitments.
