The funds were handed over to the beneficiaries in a ceremony by the EFCC Gombe Zonal Directorate, following an investigation into a petition filed by Abraham B. Song in 2024. The commission's spokesman, Dele Oyewale, revealed that the recovered funds were valued at N1,054,919,532.61, and were presented to the beneficiaries in a bank draft. The Acting Zonal Director, Austine Adache, emphasized the commission's commitment to accountability, justice, and the restitution of recovered funds to their rightful beneficiaries.",
