The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission has recovered N5.79bn in proceeds of crime between January and June 2026 as part of its anti-corruption drive aimed at strengthening accountability and national security.

This is as the commission said, corruption continues to undermine Nigeria’s security architecture by diverting resources meant for critical public services.

The anti-graft agency disclosed this in a performance report obtained by our correspondent on Sunday.

The ICPC said, “Cash recovered within the review period amounted to N5,789,681,925.02.”

The commission said the recovery formed part of broader efforts to safeguard public funds, strengthen institutional integrity and promote transparency across public institutions.
