Abuja, Oct. 20, 2016 (2016)The Ibadan Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says it has recovered N57.31 million in less than 10 months of its operation.
Mr Wilson Uwujaren, Head of Media and Publicity of EFCC, said in a statement in Abuja that the Ibadan Zonal Office established in January 2016 was to serve as an impetus to the anti corruption campaign.
“It was also due to the resolve of the acting Executive Chairman, Ibrahim Magu to extend the anti graft war to the grassroots and to bring the commission closer to the people, ‘’ he said.
The spokesman said that within a few months of existence, the office had received over 200 petitions, out of which 123 were under investigation.
He urged members of the public and the media to support the efforts of the commission by reporting cases of corruption promptly.
“ We will forge ahead and diligently pursue all cases to ensure that justice is served accordingly,’’ he said. (NAN)
