Presidential spokesman Mallam Garba Shehu said President Muhammadu Buhari would have liked to let Nigerians know how much has been recovered from the fight against corruption, but, it will be impossible for now.because the cash recovered from former public officers under probe by anti-graft agencies will be used as evidence against them in court.
He said the money recovered is in the vaults of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN),
“The issue of how much has been returned has been there. The money retrieved has to be used as evidence in court. The President said two things; we will recover and we will prosecute. So, as it is now, you don’t go and bring all these billions returned out.
“I am aware that there is an account with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) where some of these funds are being kept and are evidence for a judge to see. It is not for public display. I think that is the challenge we have at the moment.” Garba Said
