The Ag. Zonal Director, Benin Zonal Directorate, Deputy Commander of the EFCC, Sa'ad Hanafi Sa'ad, on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, handed over a draft of N195 million to Agofure Etadafe, being the sum recovered by the Commission on his behalf.
Etadafe had in March 2026 petitioned the Commission that the trio of Adoni Ogbeni, Osaretin Hilda Ogbeni and Temple Jafaru defrauded him of N200 million under the pretence of selling a landed property situated at Effurun, Delta State, to him. Upon payment of N200 million, attempts by the complainant to take possession of the land became impossible as it was discovered that the land legally belong to someone else.
Presenting the draft, the Ag. Zonal Director reiterated the Commission's resolve to ensure that fraudsters are stripped of their illegal earnings and all proceeds of crime.
Receiving the draft, Etadafe expressed gratitude to the Commission for being so professional. He said he had practically lost hope as the fraudsters had been evasive.
In a related development, the Ag. Zonal Director on Tuesday, also handed over a draft of N16.4 million to Benjamin Nwakaegho, counsel to a complainant. The complainant stated that the suspect had approached him as a property agent and was willing to help him sell his landed property. Based on trust, he gave the land documents to the agent who sold the land for N25 million but only remited N5 million, claiming that the buyer was yet to complete payment. However, investigation revealed that complete payment was made to the agent as the funds were traced to his account.
Receiving the draft, Nwakaegho also expressed gratitude to the Commission for demonstrating professionalism in the discharge of its mandate.
