The Official Ambassador of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in the Diaspora, *Ambassador J.K. Adebola, MNIM, MCICN*, has commended the Chairman of the EFCC, *Mr Olanipekun Olukoyede*, for his exemplary leadership in ensuring the restitution of over *$132,362.43* and *₦78,566,324.81* to victims of fraud across the *United States, Spain, and Switzerland*.
Ambassador Adebola lauded the initiative as a landmark achievement, reflecting the EFCC’s commitment to justice, accountability, and transparency under *President Bola Ahmed Tinubu*’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
“This restitution of recovered funds reassures the world that Nigeria, under the Renewed Hope Agenda, is taking accountability seriously. Chairman Olukoyede and his team deserve high praise for their diligence and commitment to upholding justice and restoring the dignity of victims,” Ambassador Adebola stated.
He further commended the EFCC for recovering stolen assets and ensuring victims receive their rightful compensation. This action reinforces Nigeria’s credibility in the global fight against financial crimes.
Since assuming office, Chairman Olukoyede has intensified the EFCC’s anti-corruption efforts, prioritising asset recovery, prosecuting economic crimes, and strengthening international partnerships. His leadership continues elevating Nigeria’s image, assuring citizens and the global community that corruption will not go unchecked.
Ambassador Adebola highlighted how this milestone aligns seamlessly with President Tinubu’s vision for a transparent and accountable government in which looted funds are recovered and returned to their rightful owners.
“The Renewed Hope Agenda is about restoring trust in governance, and the EFCC’s commitment proves that Nigeria is on the right path. This achievement sends a strong message that the era of impunity is over,” he added.
As Nigeria accelerates its anti-corruption drive, the EFCC’s proactive measures signal a renewed determination to combat financial crimes, promote good governance, and safeguard the nation’s reputation on the global stage.
