The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has handed over a bank draft of N42,500,000 in favour of one Mrs Margret Odofin, a 70-year-old widow and retiree.

According to a statement shared on its official X handle on Friday, the EFCC recovered the money which was fraudulently taken from her by her account and investment officer, Mrs Kehinde Yusuf, a staff in one of the new generation banks.

The handover, which took place on Thursday was done in the Kaduna Zonal Directorate of the commission by its acting director, Bawa Kaltungo, on behalf of EFCC’s Executive Chairman, Ola Olukoyede.

The widow, in a petition to the Kaduna Zonal Directorate of the EFCC in December 2024, had alleged that Yusuf, being her account and investment officer, had between November 2020 and December, 2020, lured her into investing in some ponzi businesses.
