EFCC Recovers N108m from Fraudulent Lagos Firm Employees

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has returned N108 million in bank drafts to Karren Walters Attorneys in Lagos, recovered from an alleged fraud involving two former employees of a company. The funds were part of an investigation into abuse of office, forgery, stealing, and diversion linked to Nkechi Gladys Megai, who is currently at large in the United Kingdom, and Godson Eze, the former Chief Financial Officer.

The EFCC's investigation revealed that the suspects forged documents and created fake invoices to divert funds through fraudulent transactions over time, amounting to several hundreds of millions of naira. During the handover ceremony, Assistant Commander of the EFCC, Bawa Usman Kaltungo, reaffirmed the commission's commitment to justice for victims of economic crimes and to holding all involved accountable.

The legal representatives of the company expressed gratitude for the EFCC's thorough investigation and noted that the recovered funds would significantly help mitigate the company's losses. Ongoing investigations aim to apprehend all individuals connected to the fraud.
