Reported by Marian Opeyemi Fasesan | Sele Media Africa
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has officially returned assets recovered from convicted fraudster Fatai Olalere Alli, a self-styled spiritualist popularly known as Baba Abore or Baba Osun, to his victim, Daniel Babatunde Attiogbe.
What We Know:
- The recovered items include three residential properties, two luxury vehicles (a Lexus RX 350 and a Mercedes-Benz), and ₦1.1 million.
- Alli was convicted in 2023 for obtaining over ₦30 million under false pretenses, including spiritual manipulation.
- The handover ceremony was held at the EFCC Ibadan Zonal Command on October 30, 2025.
Quote:
“This restitution shows that justice is not only about conviction but about restoring dignity and losses to victims.”
— EFCC Zonal Commander, Halima Rufa’i
Why It Matters:
- Highlights EFCC’s effort to not only prosecute financial crimes but also return proceeds of crime to rightful owners.
- Restores public confidence in the justice system, especially for victims of spiritual and advance-fee fraud.
- Underscores the financial and emotional toll of spiritual scams in Nigeria.
What to Watch:
Further restitution cases involving spiritual fraud.
- Community sensitisation on identifying and avoiding spiritual scams.
- Possible civil suits against accomplices or enablers of Alli’s operations.
