EFCC Recovers N3.6bn, Houses From Suspected Looters In Ilorin

The Ilorin Zonal office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission says it has recovered N3.6 billion and 10 houses from suspected looters.

EFCC Zonal head, Mr Isyaka Sharu, spoke on Monday in Ilorin during the annual International Anti-corruption Day rally, NAN reports.

“The Commission has recovered N3.6 billion from suspected looters. Two out of the recovered properties are in Ikoyi. One is in Lekki and the recently recovered property worth over N1 billion is in Ilorin,” Sharu said.

He added that at the eve of the last hand over, EFCC saved the state of an attempt to loot over N4 billion of its tax refund.

“Currently, the ongoing investigation into the Kwara State Internal Revenue Service led to the recovery of about N50 million. Effort is being made to recover the balance of about N2 billion from some notable individuals in the alleged fraud in KWRS”, Sharu said.

The State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazak, said that the match against corruption was for everybody, noting that “if we do not kill corruption, it will kill all of us’’.
