The recovered money was handed over 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 of company funds involving two former employees of Greenwich Planet Sun King Nigeria Limited.
The suspects were identified as Nkechi Gladys Megai, who the Commission said is currently at large after allegedly fleeing to the United Kingdom, and Godson Eze, a former Chief Financial Officer of the company.
The EFCC alleged that the suspects abused their official 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.
At 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 obtain 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.
Legal representatives of Greenwich Planet Sun King Nigeria Limited, who received the bank drafts on behalf of the company, thanked the EFCC for what they described as its painstaking investigation, professionalism and efforts to recover the funds.
They said the recovered money would help reduce the losses suffered by the company.
The handover is part of the EFCC’s continued return of recovered assets to victims of financial crimes.
In October 2025, the Commission had handed over three properties, two vehicles and ₦1.1 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 returned after the Federal High Court in Ibadan ordered their final forfeiture to the Federal Government following Alli’s conviction in a fraud case.
The EFCC said Alli and his syndicate had defrauded the victim of more than ₦200 million under the pretext of providing spiritual cleansing to avert visions of untimely death.
