Kwara Govt Receives N148m Looted Funds from
EFCC
Kwara State Government has received a bank draft for another
N148,049,580:81 looted funds which the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission (EFCC) recently recovered from some officials of
the past administration.
The money was received on Thursday on behalf of the state
government by Commissioner for Finance and Planning Olasumbo
Florence Oyeyemi, according to a statement from the ministry’s
spokesperson Saad Hamdalat.
She commended the EFCC for its patriotic efforts to stamp out
corruption and abuse of public office, saying the money would be
duly appropriated and deployed to serve the public that it is meant
for.
The Ilorin Zonal Head of the EFCC Mr Oseni Kazeem had during a
recent courtesy visit to Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq announced
the recovery of new loots for the government.
AbdulRazaq in turn commended the anti-graft agency which he
observed has continued to recover funds stolen from public
treasury, saying the funds would be judiciously used including for
social investment programmes of the administration.
The anti-graft agency had earlier made similar recoveries of
public funds.
