“The 2,220 record of 2021 is a 127.5 per cent improvement over the 2019.

“Interestingly too, the 2,220 record represents a 98.49 per cent success rate in prosecution as the commission lost only 34 cases during this period,” the statement said.

A further breakdown of the total convictions command by command
showed that Lagos recorded the highest number of convictions of 481 while Ibadan command followed with 324 convictions.

The Port Harcourt zonal command recorded 230 convictions, the third highest in the country.

The statement quoted the EFCC Chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa, as commending the personnel for their industry and dedication in spite of the challenges of criminal prosecution in court.

“The EFCC will continue to motivate all categories of staff members for greater efficiency through capacity development and other incentives,” Bawa was further quoted as saying.(vitalnews)
