The EFCC Ibadan Zonal Directorate has handed over multiple properties, two luxury vehicles and several million naira in cash to a victim of fraud, following a court-ordered asset forfeiture against a fake spiritualist and advance-fee fraudster.
The restituted assets include: a five-bedroom duplex with a three-bedroom bungalow at Kasumu Village, Odo-Ona Elewe, Ibadan; a bungalow containing two three-bedroom flats at Plot 182, Block D, Lapiti Layout, Akanran Road, Amuloko; and a three-bedroom bungalow at Idi Ayunre Village, Oluyole LGA. Also returned were a grey Honda Pilot SUV and a Toyota Corolla saloon, as well as ₦1.1 million in cash.
Chairman of the EFCC, Mr. Ola Olukoyede, emphasised that compliance with court orders is mandatory and that the Commission remains committed to transparency, accountability and the rule of law. He noted this hand-over is part of the agency’s continuing fight to restore defrauded assets to rightful owners.
The beneficiary, Mr. Daniel Babatunde Attiogbe, expressed deep gratitude, stating that his hope was rekindled after submitting his petition and witnessing the return of his seized properties. He described the day as a turning point in his efforts to recover his legitimate earnings.
The fraudster, Mr. Fatai Olalere Alli (also known as “Baba Abore”), was convicted following a scheme in which he defrauded Attiogbe of over ₦200 million under the pretext of providing spiritual cleansing. A final forfeiture judgment was made in November 2024 by the Federal High Court, Ibadan.
