Olukoyede, while handing over documents of the properties and papers to the vehicles to Attiogbe, said the recoveries were released to the victim as ordered by the court.
“Obeying court orders is mandatory, and as an agency of the Federal Government, we know the importance, and that is what we are doing here today.
“This is an indication that the EFCC carries out its activities within the ambit of the law. Also, this is to reassure Nigerians of the Commission’s commitment to transparency and accountability.
“I want to assure you that the EFCC will continue to combat economic and financial crimes head-on, and stop at nothing to ensure that any fraudulent person besmirching the image of the country through fraudulent activities will be brought to book,” he said.
