EFCC Recovers N3.6 billion, 10 Houses In Ilorin

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ilorin branch says that it has uncovered N3.6 billion and 10 houses from suspected plunderer.

The Commission's zonal head, Mr. Isyaka Sharu, said that “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,”

“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.

Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazak, also added that the fight against corruption is the duty of every Nigerian, and "“if we do not kill corruption, it will kill all of us," he warned.

“It is important to work together and fight against corruption. It is killing the people gradually, the hospitals, schools and social infrastructures,” he said.

“The past administration left a huge amount of debt, and if EFCC had not saved the attempt to loot N4.8 billion, there would not have been anything to work with.”

”I also thank EFCC for the recovery of N111 million from fraud cases,” he said.
