The money was recovered by the EFCC following a complaint by
one Hatsumi Ozeki on January 19, 2019.
Investigation established that Ozeki was duped by one Evans
Ewean-Obayagbona but the proceeds of crime was wired to him through the
accounts of his accomplices- Samson Okonofua, Osifo Onaiwi-Kelly and Igbenedion
Iyobor Mikel.
Speaking while handing over the money to officials of the
Japanese Embassy at the EFCC headquarters, Abuja, the Director of Operations,
Abdulkarim Chukkol, reiterated the Commission’s commitment to the fight against
cybercrime and other forms of financial crimes. He said the agency is poised to
sanitize the nation’s financial system to ensure a conducive investment climate
for foreign investors.
On his part, the representative of the Japanese Embassy
expressed appreciation to the EFCC for the feat in recovery the money and
commended the agency’s commitment to fighting corruption.
