Looks like some people are just stealing our money with reckless abandon.
Magu, who appeared before the Hon. Kayode Oladele-led House Committee on Financial Crimes, also confirmed the recovery of $9.750m and £750,000 from a residence in Kaduna recently, adding that N1.25 billion was recovered from a public servant a fortnight ago.
The EFCC chief was in the House of Reps for 2016 budget appraisal and 2017 budget defence.
According to a document submitted by Magu, out of the 37 accounts frozen/forfeited, six banks are yet to provide relevant information on the amount accrued into the suspected accounts during the period under review.
The commission, according to him, secured 135 convictions last year.
He said 46 of the convictions were from Lagos zone, 30 from Abuja, 22 from Port Harcourt, 19 from Kano, 15 from Enugu, and three from Gombe.
