IBADAN, Nigeria – The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has returned multi-million-naira properties and valuables to fraud victim Daniel Babatunde Attiogbe in Ibadan, Oyo State, following a final forfeiture order issued by the Federal High Court.
The assets, which include three buildings, two luxury vehicles and ₦1.1 million cash, were recovered from convicted fake spiritualist and advance fee fraudster, Fatai Olalere Alli, popularly known as Baba Abore or Baba Osun.
Alli was convicted in 2024 for defrauding Attiogbe of more than ₦200 million under the guise of performing “spiritual cleansing.”
The EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, represented by Acting Zonal Director, ACE I Hauwa Garba Ringim, handed over the recovered properties to the victim on Tuesday.
The Commission in a statement on Wednesday said the exercise reflects its commitment to transparency and strict compliance with judicial directives.
“Obeying court orders is mandatory, and as an agency of the Federal Government, we prioritise accountability and integrity,” Olukoyede said in remarks shared via EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale. “This should reassure Nigerians that we remain fully committed to combating financial crimes and protecting victims.”
A visibly relieved Attiogbe expressed gratitude, saying the Commission restored his faith in justice. “I almost gave up, but EFCC rekindled my hope. This means everything to me,” he said.
