I’m sure we may have lost count of how much has been recovered since its invention.

The anti-graft agency released a statement about the recovery.

It reads:

“EFCC Uncovers Another Massive Stash of Monies In Ikoyi.

“The whistle blowing policy of the Federal Government is paying off positively as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission today stormed a residential building in the 7th Floor of a four – bedroom apartment at Osborne Towers located at 16, Osborne road Ikoyi, Lagos.

“A humongous find of foreign currencies and Naira notes to the tune of $43.4m, £27,800 and N23.2m was uncovered.
“The operation followed a whistle blower’s confidential alert received by the Commission’s Lagos office this morning regarding some noticed suspicious movement of bags in and out of a particular apartment in the building.

“According to the source, the movers of the bags, make believe that they bring in bags of clothes.

“Another source who is conversant with the apartment of interest indicated that some woman usually appeared on different occasion with Ghana Must Go bags.

“On getting to the building, operatives met the entrance door locked.

“Inquiries from the guards at the gate explained that nobody resides in the apartment, but some persons come in and out once in a while.

“In compliance with the magisterial order contained in the warrant, the EFCC used minimum force to gain entrance into the apartment.

“Monies were found in two of the four bedroom apartment.

“Further probe of the wardrobe by operatives in one of the rooms, was found to be warehousing three fire proof cabinets disguisedly hidden behind wooden panels of the wardrobe.

“Upon assessing the content of the cabinets, neatly arranged US Dollars, Pound Sterling and some Naira notes in sealed wrappers.

“Preliminary findings indicate that the funds are suspected to be proceeds of unlawful activity.
