According to a statement on Monday evening, made available to Security reporters.com by EFCC’s spokesman, Wilson Uwajaren, “the Commission’s verified intelligence showed that the AGF raked off the funds through bogus consultancies and other illegal activities using proxies, family members and close associates. The funds were laundered through real estate investments in Kano and Abuja.”
