The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in Nigeria has described claims in some sections of the media that the commission has not fared well in over 11 years of its existence as false and misleading.
Briefing reporters in Abuja on Monday, the spokesman for the commission, Mr Wilson Uwajaren, said the anti-graft agency had recovered a total of 65 billion Naira between 2012 and 2014.
He said the commission also secured several other convictions within the period, contrary to claims that the commission had performed poorly.
Mr Uwajaren stressed that the campaign by one Juliet Ibekaku was malicious and an attempt to run down the commission.
