Anti-graft: Convicted Nigerian Fugitive, Florence Onyegbu, Extradited To United States

Florence Onyegbu, one convicted Nigerian fugitive, was extradited to the United States of America, USA on Thursday, 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 arranged by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC in Nigeria, in response to a request from the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation, for assistance in her capture.
