The Black Axe insignia depicts the black axe that cuts the chain that ties black hands, and the cult colours are black and yellow.
Black Axe members are primarily recruited during university education. They engage in fraud, trafficking, prostitution, and killing operations globally.
Interpol’s 2022 report states that Black Axe and similar groups are responsible for the majority of the world’s cyber-enabled financial fraud and other serious crimes.
Cybercrime, or Yahoo, as it is popularly referred to in Nigeria, is its primary revenue source.
Since 2022, BBC reports that numerous “jackal” police operations have arrested and seized electronic devices of Black Axe members, enabling Interpol to create a vast intelligence database shared with officers in its 196 member countries.
It should be noted that the cult was created by separating from the Neo-Black Movement which is still a globally recognised body that fights for the rights of black people.
