The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says it recovered ₦1.233 trillion and secured 10,872 convictions between October 1, 2023, and July 31, 2026.
The commission disclosed the figures on Thursday, September 24, in a video posted on its official X account highlighting its activities during the 34-month period under the chairmanship of Ola Olukoyede.
“₦1.233 trillion in recoveries in just 34 months. This is the legacy of EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede,” the commission said.
The anti-graft agency said the recoveries and convictions were recorded alongside thousands of investigations and court cases arising from petitions received during the period.
According to the EFCC, it received 49,673 petitions between October 2023 and July 2026, describing petitions as “the entry point for EFCC action.”

“But what do these numbers represent?” the EFCC asked.
“They represent the fight against financial crimes—from advance fee fraud, cybercrime, money laundering, bank fraud, and economic governance fraud,” it stated.
The commission explained that behind the statistics were investigations involving the tracing of financial transactions, uncovering of financial trails and recovery of funds.
“And behind every number is a case investigated, a financial trail uncovered, and public resources recovered to keep pushing the fight against economic and financial crimes forward,” it said.
The EFCC said the reported figures covered the period from October 1, 2023, to July 31, 2026, representing 34 months of activities under Olukoyede’s leadership.
The commission concluded its account of the period by signalling that its enforcement activities would continue. “The work continues,” it stated.
