Olukoyede said the recoveries are released to the victim as the court had requested while handing over the property and paperwork to Attiogbe,  .
As a federal agency, we are aware of the importance of obeying court orders, which is what we are doing right now. This demonstrates that the EFCC’s activities fall under the purview of the law. This also serves to reassure Nigerians about the Commission’s commitment to accountability and transparency.
“I want to assure you that the EFCC will continue to fight economic and financial crimes head on and make no mistake about it,” he said. “I want to assure you that any dishonest person who besmirches the country through their actions will be punished.”
Attiogbe thanked the EFCC for its unwavering support and diligence in the fight against economic and financial crimes as well as the professionalism and integrity that officers of the Commission displayed in carrying out their official duties after receiving the “Letter of Release” and the property documents.
Sincerely, I want to thank the EFCC for its unwavering support of the fight against corruption, particularly the Ibadan Zonal Office. He said, “But the EFCC revived my hope after I submitted my petition, and we are now at a position where I almost gave up.”
Following Justice Uche Agomoh’s final forfeiture order from the Federal High Court sitting in Ibadan, the recoveries were handed over to the victim. In a fraud case that began in 2019, Alli was found guilty of conspiring with his syndicate and dishonesting the victim of his legitimate income of more than N200 million under the pretext of performing spiritual cleansing to prevent and erase visions of the victim’s untimely death. The verdict was delivered on November 13, 2024.
Alli initially faced a thirty-three-count charge at the start of the case, but the trial eventually changed to a one-count charge.
