EFCC Transfers 1,452 Recovered Items to Unity Schools

On Tuesday, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), led by Chairman Ola Olukoyede, handed over 1,452 recovered items to the Federal Ministry of Education in Abuja. The items, which include 501 double-step bunk beds, 939 mattresses, and 12 wooden beds, were recovered during a nationwide operation against cybercrime and financial offenses conducted in late 2024.

This operation is noted as the largest single operation ever undertaken by the EFCC, resulting in the arrest of 792 suspects, including 193 foreign nationals. The recovered items are intended to directly benefit Nigerian students, aligning with President Bola Tinubu's commitment to improving education as a means to combat corruption and financial crime.

The EFCC has previously transferred assets to educational institutions, including the Federal University of Applied Science Kachia in Kaduna State. The initiative is part of a broader strategy to enhance access to quality education and reduce the allure of cybercrime among Nigerian youth.
