EFCC Recovers Over N248 Billion and Seizes Assets from Nigerian Fraudsters in Canada
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has announced significant recoveries amounting to N248.75 billion, $105.42 million, £53,133, €172,547, and other foreign currencies, including ¥74,859 in Chinese Yuan and CFA 7,821,375 West African Francs, between October 18, 2023, and October 18, 2024.
Chairman Olukoyede highlighted a notable international asset recovery on September 6, when the EFCC returned $180,300 and 53 vehicles to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). These assets, taken from Nigerian fraudsters who targeted Canadian citizens, included $164,000 belonging to a victim named Elena Bogomas and $16,300 to Sandra Butler.
Olukoyede also revealed ongoing high-profile corruption cases, with four former governors—Yahaya Bello, Abdulfatah Ahmed, Willie Obiano, and Darius Ishaku—facing charges.
Former ministers Saleh Mamman and Olu Agunloye are also under prosecution, while former Aviation Minister Hadi Sirika is on trial for alleged fraud involving N5.8 billion and N2.8 billion.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
Ghanaian media personality Afia Schwarzenegger speaks on the xenophobia issues occurring around Africans in South Africa.
