Eight days after he revealed how the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) refused to remit over N2 trillion seized from corrupt public office holders, George Uboh, CEO, Panic Alert Security System (PASS), has revealed further evidences against the anti-graft agency.
Recall that Uboh had appeared before the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petition on August 26, to explain how the current EFCC chairman, Ibrahim Lamorde, short-changed Nigeria of over N2 trillion.
Speaking in Abuja at the weekend, Uboh disclosed that the Commission recovered over N1.7 billion from 15 companies for the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) but failed to remit same to the agency.
The amount, which he said was “over-due taxes on behalf of FIRS” was not remitted to the agency, adding that “FIRS in its submission denied receiving any payments/transfers from EFCC in respect of the said companies.”
According to documents he made available, the funds were recovered between 2010 and 2011.
The security expert asked members of the public interested in getting details of his earlier N2 trillion unremitted seized funds by the EFCC to download the documents from his website: www.pasecng.com.
The petitioner also promised to expose Nigeria’s former presidents, vice presidents, current and ex-governors as well as President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration over numerous shady practices.
“EFCC has been the house of refuge where looters hide. I want to demystify EFCC,” he stated.
