The commission said the Indian nationals are Lalit Sarwat, Ravi Raghavendra, and Gagan Sarswat, while the Ilorin-based dispatch manager is Samuel Oniyide.
The EFCC said, “Justice Sulaiman Akanbi of the Kwara State High Court sitting in Ilorin has remanded three Indian nationals—Lalit Sarwat, Ravi Raghavendra, and Gagan Sarswat—alongside an Ilorin-based dispatch manager, Oniyide Samuel, in the custody of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) over alleged criminal breach of trust.
