The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) recorded over 1,000 convictions in the last 10 years, the Chairman of the Commission, Mr Ibrahim Lamorde, has said.
.
Lamorde disclosed this on Monday at the 2013 International Anti-Corruption Day in Abuja with the theme: "Zero corruption, 100 per cent development.
.
He said that the agency had handled high profile cases, saying that the commission had relentlessly checked public corruption through vigorous law- enforcement activities.
.
"In 10 years of existence, EFCC has recorded over a thousand convictions.
.
Significantly, the commission has recorded over 90 convictions this year.
.
"This is quite heartwarming, giving the constraints that permeate the entire judicial process where cases drag endlessly.
So many crimes in this country so they just have to be on the look out.
So many crimes in the country that is the reason. EFCC are always interrogating, Sad one i must say.
