The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says its Maiduguri Zonal office has recovered 196,670,000 naira for the Federal Government.
This is contained in a statement signed by the EFCC Head of Operations in Borno state, Ibrahim Bappa, on Thursday.
According to the statement, 2.8 million naira was also recovered for individual victims as a result of petitions received and acted upon by the zone.
In the statement, the EFCC urged the public to report public officials suspected to have used their position to enrich themselves or individuals living above their means by writing petitions to the office.
The Maiduguri Zonal office, which suspended operations in the heat of insurgency in the northeast, resumed operations in November 2015.
All the recoveries were made upon the resumption.
