The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says it recovered N1.233 trillion and $684.48 million between October 2023 and July 2026, while securing 10,872 convictions as it intensified its enforcement campaign under Ola Olukoyede, executive chairman of the anti-graft agency.
It further disclosed that recoveries are funding government, restitution, education loans and consumer credit as enforcement expands into cybercrime, money laundering and virtual assets
The Commission said the recoveries, spread across 16 currencies, were part of a strategy to convert the proceeds of anti-corruption enforcement into fiscal resources, restitution for victims, social investment and other forms of economic value.
Olukoyede disclosed the figures at a media briefing in Abuja on his 34-month stewardship, saying the period had been by sustained investigations, prosecution, asset recovery, institutional reforms and increased collaboration with domestic and international law-enforcement partners.
According to the EFCC, it received 49,673 petitions between October 2023 and July 2026, investigated 39,615 cases and filed 14,476 cases before various courts.
