Benjamin Okenna Ikaa denied the charges of obtaining by false pretence and money laundering.
A Nigerian man has been charged over an alleged cryptocurrency fraud involving more than $1.5m from a woman.
The anti-corruption agency said Benjamin Okenna Ikaa was charged on Wednesday at a court in the capital, Abuja with obtaining by false pretence and money laundering.
He denied the charges and was remanded in custody. His two accomplices were also charged but were not in court.
The charges are in connection to an alleged cryptocurrency investment scheme that saw the suspect send misleading messages to his victim in December 2022 which she relied on and suffered financial loss.
The scheme promised victims lucrative daily returns to their investments, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) said.
