The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Abdulrasheed Bawa has said that the Commission has not abandoned the corruption cases of the former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke.
The EFCC Boss disclosed that the anti-graft agency has so far recovered a sum of $153 million from a former Petroleum Resources Minister.
Bawa, while speaking in April edition of the commission’s magazine, EFCC Alert, added that 80 houses valued at $80 million were also recovered from the former minister.
According to him, “There are several cases surrounding Diezani’s case. I was part of that investigation, and we have done quite a lot.
”In one of the cases we recovered $153 million; we have secured the final forfeiture of over 80 properties in Nigeria valued at about $80 million. We have done quite a bit on that.
“The other cases as it relates to the $115 million INEC bribery are also ongoing across the federation.
“We are looking forward to the time we will, maybe, have her in the country, and, of course, review things and see what will happen going forward. The case has certainly not been abandoned,” said the Commission boss.
