He added that the prompt and efficient action taken by EFCC not only showcases the dedication and professionalism of the EFCC but also underscores their commitment to upholding justice while combating financial crimes within Benue, as well as, across the nation.
The BIPC managing director further posited “This successful recovery underscores the importance of robust investigative procedures and the commitment to upholding integrity in financial transactions.”
