2010-2016: See how many convictions EFCC has secured, most efficient state office
Legit.ng reported that Mr Adebayo Adelabu, a deputy governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) was alleged to have been grilled in Lagos by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Monday, August 7.
He was also alleged to have connived with former minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke. Reports have it that the deputy governor of CBN who was interrogated was admitted to administrative bail by the anti-graft agency.
There has always been criticism of the EFCC as a body that accuses people of corruption, but is rarely able to secure convictions.
However, it appears that the commission has been able to secure an impressive number of convictions in the past years as shown by TransparencIT NG, a company that prides itself on ensuring transparency in the Nigerian government.
Below is a recent infographic released showing the amount of convictions that they have been able to secure in the past years:
