Acting Chairman of EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, has revealed that the agency has so far recovered about N17bn through the whistle blowing policy.
Magu reportedly disclosed this yesterday (Thursday 27th April) during a paper presentation of 62nd Award Night of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, held in Abuja.
He said, “Apart from several other recoveries running into several billions of naira, the recent whistle-blower policy, has led to the recovery of N521,815,000, $53,272,747, £122,890, and €547,730 by the EFCC.”
“The EFCC is committed to pursuing its statutory mandate and to rescue the Nigerian state and its people from being killed by corruption. We call on the Media and well meaning Nigerians to join us in this crusade. With the government and people of Nigeria behind the EFCC, we shall surely be victorious,” he added.
