It was gathered that after an audit by the Federal Government, the ministry of finance has sent reports of the audit to the EFCC to act upon.
Finance Minister, Kemi Adeosun reportedly said some of the audit reports had been sent to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
She said: “The financial regulations are very clear, where audit reports have indicted some of the officers, some of these audit reports are going to the EFCC.

“Some of the audit findings were so serious that the decision was taken that some of those particular reports must go to the EFCC.
“Remember that we are not a prosecuting agency, ours is to investigate and then we hand it over to the relevant agencies,” she said.
This development is coming after Adeosun announced that the federal government is set to recover about N450 billion operating surpluses that were not returned by 33 agencies from 2010 to 2015.
