Oyogist.com has learned that the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Abdulrasheed Bawa has narrated how the anti-graft agency recovered over N1 billion from a civil servant within a week.
Bawa made this known in a briefing on Thursday at the Senate Committee on Finance investigating Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) .
Bawa noted that there were a lot of faults that needed to be addressed, adding that it was not about generating revenue.
He said,
“We recovered over a billion (naira) from (a) civil servant sitting in an account last week.“After observing the proceedings and the process of investigation of the Clcommittee, I am happy with what is happening here. It is a good development that the committee is working towards blocking revenue leakages.
“At this point in the nation’s history, it is not much about generating revenue as much as blocking leakages of revenue generated and still being generated by all these agencies of government.”
