Photos of the wanted persons, including the 6 Nigerians
The 79 persons wanted by the FBI, which the agency tagged it “Cyber’s Most Wanted” are 39 men of Arab origin, 16 Russians, 20 Chinese/Asians and 6 Nigerians.
But, when this news got to Nigerians it failed to pleased them, as many took to Twitter to blast FBI for using the 6 Nigerians involved as click baits.
This sensationalizing bullshit is the reason I commended Dubai Police. They captured scammers of Nigerian descent and paraded them as “international cyber criminals.” But you activated Nigerian nationality-baiting, even though there are only 6 Nigerians out of these 79 scammers.
Really @FBI? Are you also looking for the 39 men of Arab origin, 16 Russians, 20 Chinese/ Asians on that list? When you highlight 6 Nigerians in this way, you paint the remaining 200m with the same dirty brush. Please be kind to the other Nigerians who are not criminals. https://t.co/LhQHH8RTyR
I hope more Nigerians are beginning to realise that this is systemic and intentional. On this list Nigerians are just 6, with an overwhelming amount of Arabs, Russians and Chinese. But the 6 Nigerians are the poster boys. How do you discredit so many people because of just 6? https://t.co/EankZfDc43

No skincare routine… just iPhone and sun 🙂 Rt y’all 🥺🤲🏽
Clicking the link and reading it all, I found out there are 79 of them. 16 Russians, 20 Chinese ,6 Nigerians and 37 men of arabic descent, but you decided to highlight Nigerians to get attention when it even had the least nationals amongst the rest. #BlackLivesMatterhttps://t.co/hGtpQWdQwe
In the crime market Nigerians sell news faster , so it’s understandable that the FBI would put up 6 Nigerians as front page cover . They know the Nigerian government wouldn’t interfere as opposed to other governments who would/might Query them .
Yeah just for 6 Nigerians 😒 We equally have lots of record achievements that outnumber our bad eggs' . I'm not some crazy patriotic citizen, but I'm born Nigerian and I can't be apologetic about that. I hope we soon get over this feeling of inferiority complex. https://t.co/ghT8PbecI8
Other nationalities were among the 79 that committed the cybercrime, We have :16 Russians, 20 Chinese, 6 Nigerians and 37 men of arabic herritage. But @FBI prefer to use Nigerians for the Cybercrime headline on their twitter handle. The hatred is real. Nigerians are not frauds pic.twitter.com/OgPotdV9dq
Help the #FBI find 79 criminals: 16 Russians, 20chinese, 37 men of arabic origin and 6 Nigerians.
This is how your headline should be but your racial ass must use Nigeria to catch cruise as if others on the list are less criminal. If anything those 37Arabs deserve the spotlight. https://t.co/Po3ZDyxdAq
