The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has returned ₦108 million recovered from an alleged fraud involving two former employees of a Lagos-based company.
The funds, presented as bank drafts, were handed over to the company's legal representatives, Karren Walters Attorneys, following an investigation into allegations of abuse of office, forgery, theft, and diversion of company funds.
According to the EFCC, one of the suspects, Nkechi Gladys Megai, allegedly fled to the United Kingdom and remains at large, while the second suspect, former Chief Financial Officer Godson Eze, is also under investigation. The commission said the pair allegedly forged documents, created fake invoices using the names of legitimate vendors, and diverted company funds through fraudulent transactions amounting to hundreds of millions of naira.
Speaking during the handover, the Acting Zonal Director of the EFCC Lagos Zonal Directorate 2, Assistant Commander Bawa Usman Kaltungo, reaffirmed the commission's commitment to ensuring justice for victims of financial crimes and recovering stolen assets.
He added that efforts are ongoing to apprehend all individuals connected to the alleged fraud, including those who have fled the country.
The company's legal representatives commended the EFCC for its professionalism and diligence, noting that the recovered funds would help reduce the financial losses suffered by the company.
The EFCC said investigations are still ongoing as it intensifies efforts to recover more assets and bring all suspects involved to justice.
