The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, says it has recovered over N248bn in the last year.
The Director of Public Affairs of the Commission, Wilson Uwajaren, made this disclosure on Thursday when he gave an update on the achievements of the anti-graft agency so far.
Uwajaren said the sum of over £53,000 and €172,000 were also recovered. €5,000 were also recovered for victims of crime in Spain, according to him.
According to him, the commission is taking its rapid response a notch higher as it will lead to a drop in cybercrime.
He further said the commission has also secured more than 35 convictions for Naira abuse by Nigerians at social events.
Uwajaren stated that three new directorates are set to emerge in Ekiti, Katsina and Anambra states.
