The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has handed over three properties, two vehicles, and a sum of ₦1.1 million to fraud victim Mr. Daniel Babatunde Attiogbe, as proceeds recovered from a convicted fake spiritualist and fraudster, Fatai Olalere Alli, popularly known as Baba Abore or Baba Osun.
The assets were formally presented by the Ibadan Zonal Directorate of the EFCC on October 28, 2025, following a final forfeiture order granted by Justice Uche Agomoh of the Federal High Court, Ibadan, in a case that began in 2019.
The recovered properties include:
-
A five-bedroom duplex with an adjoining three-bedroom bungalow at Kasumu Village, Odo-Ona Elewe, Ibadan.
-
A bungalow consisting of two sets of three-bedroom flats at Plot 182, Block D, Lapiti Layout, Akanran Road, Amuko, Ibadan.
-
A three-bedroom bungalow at Idi Ayunre Village, Oluyole Local Government Area, Ibadan.
Additionally, the EFCC returned two vehicles — a grey Honda Pilot SUV (Reg. No. LND 696 CK) and a Toyota Corolla Saloon, alongside the recovered ₦1,100,000, all of which were confirmed by the court as proceeds of crime.
The Acting Zonal Director of the EFCC, ACE I Hauwa Garba Ringim, represented the Executive Chairman, Mr. Ola Olukoyede, during the brief handover ceremony at the Commission’s conference hall.
Speaking on behalf of the EFCC leadership, Olukoyede reaffirmed the agency’s dedication to transparency and adherence to the rule of law.
“Obeying court orders is mandatory. What we have done here today shows that the EFCC operates strictly within the ambit of the law. This handover is a demonstration of our commitment to justice, transparency, and accountability,” he stated.
He assured Nigerians that the EFCC remains resolute in combating financial and economic crimes, adding that no individual involved in defrauding citizens would go unpunished.
“The EFCC will continue to fight financial crimes with vigor and ensure that those tarnishing the nation’s image face the full weight of the law,” Olukoyede emphasized.
Receiving the recovered assets, Mr. Attiogbe expressed deep gratitude to the EFCC for its professionalism and persistence throughout the lengthy legal battle.
“I almost gave up hope, but the EFCC rekindled my faith in justice. Their commitment and diligence made this day possible,” he said.
The case dates back to 2019, when Fatai Alli and his syndicate were found to have defrauded Attiogbe of over ₦200 million, under the guise of conducting spiritual cleansing to avert a supposed “vision of untimely death.” The court eventually found Alli guilty and sentenced him to three years imprisonment, ordering him to sign an undertaking with the Department of State Services (DSS) pledging good behavior and an end to criminal activity.
This restitution marks another milestone in the EFCC’s ongoing efforts to ensure that victims of fraud receive justice and that stolen wealth is rightfully returned.
