The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has made a significant breakthrough in the fight against corruption, returning 14 properties to the Enugu State government and 324 houses to Kano State pensioners.
The properties, valued at millions of naira, were recovered through diligent investigation and prosecution.
The Enugu State properties were formally handed over to the state government at the EFCC headquarters in Abuja, while the 324 houses were returned to Kano State pensioners who had been defrauded of their benefits.
EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, commended the Enugu State government and Kano State pensioners for their cooperation throughout the investigation and recovery process.
He assured that the EFCC would continue to work tirelessly to recover stolen assets and bring corrupt individuals to justice.
Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, expressed gratitude to the EFCC for its efforts in recovering the stolen assets and praised President Bola Tinubu for his prompt action in ceding the assets to the people and government of Enugu State.
This milestone marks a significant achievement in the fight against corruption and asset recovery, demonstrating the EFCC’s commitment to ensuring that corrupt individuals are held accountable and that stolen assets are returned to their rightful owners.
