“Buhari Orders EFCC to return N10 billion to NBC”

Director General of Nigeria Broadcasting Commission (NBC), Is’haq Modibbo-Kawu, said the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has been directed to return the N10 billion seized from it.

Mr. Modibbo-Kawu, who announced this at a news conference in Abuja on Thursday, said President Muhammadu Buhari gave the directive.

The money was seized by EFCC during the tenure of former DG of NBC, Emeka Mba.

Mr. Modibbo-Kawu said the money was still in the custody of the anti-graft agency but that President Buhari had ordered that it be released to the commission.
