This comes amidst ongoing investigations into various high-profile cases involving former governors, ex-ministers, and government officials across the nation. The agency is set to release further details on these investigations in due course.

Furthermore, the EFCC is actively delving into cases of monumental procurement fraud, implicating officials from both the Federal Ministry of Power and the Ministry of Agriculture. These investigations underscore the agency’s determination to root out corruption at various levels of government.

Dele Oyewale, the spokesperson for the EFCC, relayed these developments on behalf of the acting Chairman, Abdukarim Chukkol, during a media interaction with select journalists in Lagos on Wednesday. The announcements reflect the EFCC’s relentless pursuit of justice and its steadfast resolve to safeguard the nation’s financial integrity.

As the EFCC continues its pursuit of justice, these recent successes mark a significant milestone in the fight against economic crimes. The recoveries serve as a testament to the agency’s unwavering commitment to upholding the rule of law and ensuring financial accountability in Nigeria.
