The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC) on Tuesday, January 28, 2025 handed over four landed title documents recovered from criminal syndicates to their owners.
The title documents were falsified by a syndicate of land fraudsters in Abuja. They allegedly forged the documents and deprived the lawful owners of their property. EFCC’s investigators, working on actionable intelligence, rounded up the fraudsters and recovered the documents for the legitimate owners.
At the handing over of the documents to the victims on Tuesday, Executive Chairman of the EFCC, Mr. Ola Olukoyede noted that the recovery of the original title documents was a product of diligent investigation by operatives of the EFCC. He particularly acknowledged the collaborative efforts of officials of the Federal Capital Territory Administration, FCTA, drawn from FCT’s department of Land Administration and Abuja Geographic Information System , AGIS.
