A total of over N30 billion out of the N109 billion allegedly siphoned by the suspended Accountant-General of the Federation, Idris Ahmed, has been removed from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The Chairman of the Commission, Abdulrasheed Bawa, made this known on Thursday while appearing at the Ministerial Media Briefing organised by the Presidential Communications Team at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Idris was nabbed by operatives of the EFCC on May 16, 2022, in connection with a series of frauds that was initially thought to be N84 billion.
Three days after his arrest, Idris was suspended by the Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, to enable him to face his probe.
Giving highlights of the Commission’s achievements from January to December 2022, Bawa gave other recoveries as N134,33,759,574.25, $121,769,076.30, £21,020.00, €156,925.00, ¥21,350.00, CFA300,000.00 among others.
He also revealed that over 3,615 convictions were recorded within the period, affirming that the administration is serious about its anti-corruption programme.
The EFCC boss further announced that the nationwide auction of forfeited automobiles will be followed by the disposal of over 150 houses to interested buyers.
