The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has again been
accused of failing to remit into government accounts, monies it
recovered.
The Chief Executive Officer, Panic Alert Security
System, George Uboh, while appearing before the Senate Committee on
Ethics, Privileges and Public Petition on August 26, had disclosed how
the Chairman of the EFCC, Ibrahim Lamorde, allegedly diverted N2tn it
recovered from ex-public officials.
Speaking to journalists
yesterday, Uboh said that the commission recovered over N1.7bn from 15
companies for the Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS, but failed to
remit same to the agency.
“FIRS in its submission denied receiving any payments/transfers from EFCC in respect of the said companies.” he said.
Documents Uboh made available to journalists showed that the funds were recovered between 2010 and 2011.
The
security expert said members of the public interested in getting
details of his earlier N2tn seized by EFCC but unremitted to government
should download the documents from his website: www.pasecng.com.
Uboh
also expressed his readiness to expose the country’s former presidents,
vice presidents, current and ex-governors as well as the current
administration over numerous shady practices.
