The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has recovered a total of $104,950 for an American-based businesswoman, Adeshola Oshilaja, in a suspected procurement fraud case.
The Commission handed over the outstanding $56,000 to Oshilaja at its Lagos Zonal Directorate in Ikoyi, following an earlier payment of $48,950 by the defendant, Babatunde Samuel Akinsanmi.
The case followed a petition over funds allegedly provided for the procurement of 10 dump trucks from China, with the EFCC investigation revealing that six trucks were delivered to Nigeria.
