EFCC Returns N108m Recovered From Employees To Company

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has handed over N108 million recovered during an investigation into an alleged fraud involving two former employees of Greenwich Planet Sun King Nigeria Limited.

The funds were presented to the company in bank drafts on Wednesday by the EFCC’s Lagos Zonal Directorate 2.

The commission disclosed this in a statement issued on Thursday by its Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale.

According to the EFCC, the money formed part of funds recovered during an investigation into alleged abuse of office, forgery, stealing and diversion involving the two former employees.

The suspects were identified as Nkechi Gladys Megai, who the commission said is currently at large after fleeing to the United Kingdom, and Godson Eze, a former Chief Financial Officer of the company.

The EFCC alleged that the suspects abused their positions by forging documents, creating fake invoices in the names of the company’s legitimate vendors and diverting funds through fraudulent transactions.

The commission said the fraudulent payments ran into several hundreds of millions of naira.

Speaking during the handover ceremony, the Acting Zonal Director of the Lagos Zonal Directorate 2, Bawa Kaltungo, reaffirmed the EFCC’s commitment to ensuring that victims of economic and financial crimes receive justice and, where possible, recover assets fraudulently obtained from them.

“Efforts are ongoing to ensure that all persons connected with the fraud, including those who have fled the country, are brought to justice in accordance with the law,” Kaltungo said.

The company’s legal representatives, who received the bank drafts, commended the EFCC for its painstaking investigation, professionalism and efforts in recovering the funds.

They noted that the recovered money would help mitigate the financial losses suffered by the company.

The handover is the latest in a series of asset recoveries by the anti-graft agency for victims of financial crimes.

In October 2025, the EFCC handed over three properties, two vehicles and N1.1 million recovered from a convicted fraudster, Fatai Alli, also known as Baba Abore and Baba Osun, to one of his victims in Ibadan, Oyo State.

The assets were released after the Federal High Court in Ibadan ordered their final forfeiture to the Federal Government following Alli’s conviction for fraud.

According to the EFCC, Alli and his syndicate defrauded the victim of more than N200 million under the guise of providing spiritual cleansing to prevent an alleged vision of untimely death.
