In a remarkable feat of justice, the anti-graft agency has announced the recovery of a staggering N70bn (about $90 million) of looted funds in the last 100 days. This is the result of a relentless campaign against corruption and economic crime that has been waged by the agency since October 2023.
The agency’s report, released on Wednesday, revealed the details of the recovered funds, which include cash, properties, vehicles, and other assets. The report also highlighted the cases of some of the high-profile suspects who have been arrested, prosecuted, or convicted for their involvement in various schemes of fraud, embezzlement, bribery, and money laundering.
The agency’s chairman, who spoke at a press conference, hailed the achievement as a testament to the agency’s commitment and professionalism. He also thanked the public for their support and cooperation, and urged them to continue to report any suspicious activities or transactions to the agency.
The chairman also warned that the agency would not relent in its efforts to rid the country of corruption and restore public confidence in the institutions of governance. He said that the agency would continue to collaborate with other law enforcement agencies, both locally and internationally, to track down and recover more looted funds and bring the perpetrators to justice.
The recovery of N70bn in 100 days is a remarkable achievement that deserves commendation and celebration. It is also a clear message to the corrupt elements that their days are numbered and that they will face the full wrath of the law. The anti-graft agency has proven that it is a formidable force in the fight against corruption and a champion of the people’s interest.
