The Ilorin Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has handed over One hundred and four Million naira (₦104,091) to the Niger State Government.
In a statement shortly after the presentation of the cheque in Ilorin, the Executive Chairman of the EFCC, Mr. Ola Olukoyede, represented by the Ilorin Zonal Director, Ansalem Ozioko, reaffirmed the Commission’s resolve to ensure that public funds are duly accounted for and returned to legitimate owners.
According to him the said sum was successfully recovered from Kiara Rice Mills Limited, located in Kpatsuwa Village, Mokwa Local Government Area of Niger State.
Olukoyede said the recovered sum represents the company’s unremitted tax liabilities accrued between 2021 and 2024.
He explained that the Commission, in February 2025, received intelligence indicating that the multi-billion-naira company had failed to remit its full tax obligations despite operating profitably within the state.
