A whistle blower, Barrister George Obuh has said that large chunk of money recovered abroad from treasury looters was never remitted to the Government by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission, EFCC.
Obuh, who had earlier accused the Economic and Financial Crimes Conmission, EFCC boss, Ibrahim Lamorde of diverting over N I trillion loot recovered from treasury looters disclosed this during an exclusive interview with the Complete News at the Weekend.
“Most of the monies the EFCC recovered from overseas were never remitted into the Government coffers. So, i am urging that investigation should be conducted into the activities of the body”, Obuh told our Correspondent on the telephone.
According to him, the anti-graft agency should be investigated over the allegations.
The Delta-State born lawyer also dismissed allegations that he was hired to taint the agency by some powerful Nigerians who are being investigated over graft.
Obuh insisted that nothing could be further from the truth. According to him, the petition he first submitted dated far back as 2013.
He said, “Those saying i was procured by influential Nigerians to discredit the EFCC dont have facts. I have been on this matter since 2013 before Senate President Bukola Saraki became the Senate President”.
He recalled that he had forwarded petitions to former President Goodluck Jonathan and President Muhammadu Buhari.
It will be recalled Obuah was invited by a Senate Adhoc Committee to throw more light into the weighty allegations he made against the EFCC.
