EFCC Recovers N24 Million From Former Senator in Fraud Case

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has officially handed over recovered funds amounting to N24 million to former senator Alaba Obende.This action follows a legal petition that exposed fraudulent activities linked to the senator's past dealings.
