The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has reopened money laundering cases against 13 former governors and some former ministers, with the amounts involved running into over 853.8 billion naira.

Findings revealed that the amount at stake in the high-profile cases involving the former governors and ex-ministers was not less than 772.2 billion naira.

However, the anti-graft agency is currently investigating the 81.6 billion naira that was allegedly looted in the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation.

The EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede declared in Abuja that all high-profile cases would be reviewed and revisited, while noting that indicted former or incumbent public officials’ corruption cases would not be overlooked or abandoned by the commission.
