It would be recalled that the President had last year ordered a forensic audit of the accounts and operations of the interventionist agency and had late 2019 ratified the constitution of an Interim Management Committee (IMC) to oversee the ordered forensic audit.
According to a statement issued by Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, the President, the President said assets worth more than N6 billion have been placed under lien by government agencies.
‘‘To date, the EFCC and other agencies of Government have recovered over N3.7billion in cash as well as various assets worth billions of Naira from some contractors and former Directors of the Commission.
‘‘Furthermore, I am told that government agencies have placed liens on over N6 billion of assets which are being investigated,” he said.
The President told the committee that these abuses of the past clearly show the need for strict and diligent oversight, going forward.
