Return Stolen Funds Or Be Arrested – Efcc Warns Looters

 

As looters of the public funds are being currently fished

out across the country by the Economic and Finance Crime

Commission (EFCC), the anti-craft commission has warned

all looters of the public funds to return the looted funds or

be arrested by the commission.

Wilson Uwajaren who is the commission’s spokesperson

gave the warning over the weekend during a programme

titled, “The state of the nation” on Channels Television.

According to him, any suspect whose name was brought to

the light of the commission, such person would be

apprehended and investigated and if eventually found

guilty of the alleged offence, would undoubtedly face the

fullest wrath of justice.

“We are calling on those who have stolen public funds to

return the looted money or be arrested. Ours is once you

bring back the money, we have no problem with you. We

can only arrest you if you refuse to return the money,“ he

said.

On what Nigerians should further expect from the EFCC

amid fight against corruption, Uwujapren said, “Nigerians

should expect vigorous investigation of suspected looters.”

Asking what message could the recent seizure of Dasuki’s

properties in Kaduna be to Nigerians, he said, “I do not

want to comment on such issue because there are many

cases before the court. So I would not comment on that.”
