A convicted Nigerian fugitive, Florence Enwerim Onyegbu, was on Thursday, March 23, 2023, extradited to the United States of America, USA, where she is wanted to answer to criminal charges bordering on violation of US Law involving the offer and payment of illegal remuneration in a health care matter.
Her extradition was coordinated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) following a request by the United States(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.
She, however, ran out of luck when operatives of the EFCC swooped on her at her residence in the Ijodu area of Lagos on February 21, 2022.
