The recovered funds were traced through investigations into cross-border fraud, reflecting the EFCC’s commitment to ensuring justice for victims.

The ceremony was led by EFCC Secretary Mohammed Hammajoda and attended by representatives from the victims’ countries, including FBI Assistant Law Enforcement Attaché Mike Fukuda and South Africa’s Acting High Commissioner to Nigeria, Lindi Mminele.


Among the funds returned, the United States received $7,440 for Drago Boskovic, $15,000 for Anh Ngoc Nguyen, and $175,895 alongside ₦62.79 million for Holly Ngo. South Africa’s Ennis-Flint Africa Limited also received $50,000.

Officials from both nations commended the EFCC for its role in asset recovery and international collaboration against financial crimes.


Returning funds to victims remains a key part of the EFCC’s strategy, and ongoing cooperation with international law-enforcement agencies is expected to strengthen efforts against cross-border fraud.
