EFCC RECOVERS N130m FROM LOOTERS IN KWARA

The Ilorin Zonal office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has recovered an additional N130m from treasury looters for Kwara State.

The new zonal head of the commission, DCDS Oseni Kazeem Oluwasina, disclosed this during a courtesy visit with the management of the zonal office to Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq in Ilorin on Wednesday.

He told the governor that “We are here to deter people from committing economic and financial crimes in the society, we all know that crime is inevitable in our society, but the anti-graft agency is here to fish out the criminal elements and deal with them according to the provisions of the laws.”

“It is my pleasure to pay you a courtesy visit, we felt obliged to pay you a courtesy visit and identify with your good governance, which allows the populace to enjoy the dividends of democracy,” he added.

Oluwasina appreciated the support of the state government and the entire people of the state so far, urging the people to provide information that will assist the commission to know the criminal elements in the society.
