The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission says it has returned more than ₦3.9 billion in recovered funds to the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited. The handover took place on Thursday at the commission’s headquarters in Abuja.
The funds, totalling ₦3,936,145,822, were presented on behalf of the EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, by the Secretary to the Commission, Mohammed Hammajoda. Officials said the money was recovered through investigations into fraudulent activities linked to the oil company.
