EFCC Transfers $22,000 Recovered From Fraud Convict To FBI by obasanjonews(op): 9:43pm On May 18, 2024

The Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) has received a transfer of $22,000 from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), which was seized from Hakeem Olanrewaju, a convicted internet fraudster.

The handover occurred in Lagos State and was confirmed by EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale. Michael Wetkas, Acting Director of the EFCC Lagos Zonal Command, expressed satisfaction with the handover and emphasized the agency's commitment to combating financial crimes.

FBI's Legal Attaché Charles Smith commended the EFCC for their cooperation and highlighted the importance of recovering funds from Business Email Compromise (BEC) schemes.

Smith expressed optimism about the ongoing partnership between the two agencies and pledged the FBI's support in the investigation.

Justice Nicholas Oweibo of the Federal High Court in Lagos had previously ordered that the recovered funds be returned to Olanrewaju's victim in the United States, following Olanrewaju's conviction for identity theft and impersonation.

When will USA's FBI return Onyeama's money. A slave is always a slave and must love the master than his fellow slave.

If he believes he has a case, he should go and clear his name. You can't emotionally gaslight an entire country.

See this yahoo boy in the article? His case went through the right channels and a competent court made a decision. Ne Onyeama should subject himself to trial if he is truly innocent.

But if they recover stolen or fraudulent funds on our behalf, they’d spend years before they return it. That’s if they don’t return it in piece meal.

We need all the dollar we can get, at least hold the money here for a while.

Mumu people

They’ve invested the money in their economy, it’s the proceeds they’d be sending back to us in piece meal. Like beggars.

Do you think America will subject its citizens to go face trial in another country? Eg tell an indicted American to come clear his name in Nigeria.
If fbi has a case against a Nigerian, they should subject it to the Nigerian judicial system. After all the funds originated from Nigeria.

This comment is cracking me up! cheesy

So you're saying the EFCC won't verify before sending the fund?
You forget there's a rapport between the EFCC and the FBI.

Repent now of your sinful evil ways to avoid spending your eternity in hell fire after you die. Jesus Christ love and warns you to repent and convert now to Christianity to avoid hell fire. Only Jesus Christ can save you by his death on the cross and his blood which washes away your sins, any other ways ( Islam, paganism, Hinduism, atheism, etc) can not save you. Be wise while you still have the chance accept Jesus Christ now and save your soul from hell. Be wiser than Satan and follow the one true God. This is the eternal truth from the spiritual realm
