The Chairman, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ola Olukoyede, has offered whistleblowers between 2.5 per cent and 5 per cent of recovered stolen Nigerian assets for information leading to the recovery of such assets held abroad.
Olukoyede disclosed this on Wednesday while delivering a lecture at the Cambridge International Symposium on Economic Crime in the United Kingdom, The Cable reports.
The anti-graft agency boss mentioned that the ability of its operatives to trace assets, cooperation from the judiciary and access to credible intelligence are significant factors that contribute to the agency’s success in securing non-conviction-based forfeiture orders.
He also noted that the EFCC has “some of the best investigators around the world.”
