The Acting Chairman, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC Ibrahim Magu has decried the difficulties being experienced in the repatriation of stolen assets traced to foreign countries.
He appealed to the international law enforcement agencies to assist the agency in this regard. Read This: Insecurity, Economy: Shehu Sani Asks President Buhari To Fix Nigeria
A statement by the commission’s Acting Spokesman, Tony Orilade in Abuja quoted Magu to have expressed the concern when Joe Abah, Country Director of DAI Nigeria, visited him in his office.
DAI is an international development firm implementing programmes covering governance, in more than one hundred countries worldwide.
According to Magu, the process of repatriating monies stashed abroad has been very frustrating and disappointing.
Earlier, Abah said that the visit was part of efforts aimed at supporting the anti-corruption crusade in Nigeria. He recognised the valuable work EFCC is doing to preventing, investigating, prosecuting and combating financial and economic crimes.
