EFCC Fault Farouq, Betta Edu, Shehu, Says it has Recovered N32.7billion and $445,000 From The Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development
In a recent development that has shaken the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development to its core, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has announced that it has recovered a staggering sum of N32.7 billion and $445,000 from the ministry. This revelation comes after a thorough investigation into alleged financial misappropriation within the ministry, implicating suspended officials in the process.
The EFCC’s diligent probe uncovered a web of fraudulent activities involving COVID-19 funds, a World Bank loan, and Abacha recovered loot. This recovery operation is part of a broader initiative by the EFCC to combat financial crimes and ensure the sanctity of Nigeria’s financial system.
The commission’s spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, emphasized that the investigation is ongoing and no one has been cleared of involvement in the scandal. This move by the EFCC is a significant step in the fight against corruption and a reminder that no one is above the law, not even those entrusted with the responsibility of managing the nation’s humanitarian affairs.
