This is despite SEC being the regulator of investment market in Nigeria. Many unsuspecting investors fell to the alleged scam of SUG Global, resulting to loss between N50 million and N3.5 billions.
The accusations against SUG Global were made on social media platform, Twitter. The company offers three different ROI opportunities which includes 350 percent, 150 percent and 20 percent depending on duration of investment.
