Florence Enwerem Onyegbu, a convicted Nigerian fugitive, has been extradited to the United States.
She was extradited to the North American country on Thursday, March 23, where she is wanted to answer to criminal charges bordering on violation of the U.S. Law involving the offer and payment of illegal remuneration in a health care matter.
EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, in a statement on Friday said: “Her extradition was coordinated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, following a request by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI, seeking assistance for her apprehension.
Investigations by the EFCC revealed that she had changed her name from Florence E. Onyegbu to Janet Boi in an attempt to remain hidden.
