We Recovered N1 Billion From A Civil Servant Last Week, EFCC Boss, Bawa, Laments

Abdulrasheed Bawa 

Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC), AbdulRasheed Bawa has lamented that the Commission recovered a billion naira cash from just a civil servant last week.
Speaking at a public forum today, June 16, Bawa said that corruption is still dominant in the civil service, saying: “the one billion naira is in cash, not property.”
He wondered that if only one civil servant, whose name he refused to mention, could corner as much as a billion naira, how much many of such corrupt civil servant would have by now stashed away.
The EFCC boss noted that despite all the government’s measures, there are still financial leakages and other questionable devices through which corruption is still thriving.
The leakages, he said, are everywhere; from budget processing, all through to the allocation of funds, disbursement of budget and other services down the line.
