Former heads of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)
failed to remit the sum of N1.993 trillion recovered funds, a security
and investigation consultant, George Uboh has claimed.
Details of the allegations in documents sighted by Daily Trust are
contained in a petition to the Director General of the Department of
State Services (DSS) dated 19th December.
The petition signed by the former EFCC consultant, requested the
DSS to make the acting chairman, Ibrahim Magu effect remittance of the
funds to federal government coffers and prosecute him.
Uboh said that of the N2.051 trillion recovered by the EFCC since
inception, only N6.7 billion was remitted to the federal government
leaving a balance of N1.993 trillion unremitted funds.
Meanwhile, executive director the Citizens Advancement for Social
and Economic Rights (CASER), Barrister Frank Tietie has given the
National Assembly 48 hours to review all cases handled by the EFCC where
persons, who have forfeited monies to the commission will appear to
testify.
