EFCC’s Numbers Don’t Add Up | Nigeria News

The EFCC boasts over a trillion naira recovered and ten thousand convictions—but these flashy stats are more PR than proof. The numbers come from an unofficial press release, skipping the mandatory audited report to the National Assembly, a pattern dating back to 2006. Many convicted are long-retired officials, while active ones languish in court for years. Civil forfeiture is increasingly used to seize assets without convictions, creating shortcuts around due process. And when big cases get mixed with minor fraud, it’s hard to tell if they’re really cracking down on top-tier corruption—or just inflating their numbers. Until they deliver the real, audited ledger, their claims remain suspect. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
