Whistleblower To Get 2.5 Reward Of Ikoyi N13bn

The Whistleblower whose information led the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to $43m, N23.2m and £27,800 (N13bn) recovered from an Ikoyi apartment in April, may be given about N325m in the light of the Federal Government’s whistle-blower policy. The whistle-blower policy stated that any whistle-blower whose information leads to the recovery of over N5bn will attract a 2.5 per cent reward. EFCC boss, Ibrahim Magu, doesn't disclose the amount to be given to the whistle-blower, said the commission was already counselling him on how to spend the money. According to Magu statement while speaking at the ongoing 7th Session of the Conference of States Parties to the United Nations Convention Against Corruption holding in Vienna, Austria, said the whistle-blower was a man who had “never seen N1m in his life.” He, therefore, called on Nigerians who want a positive change in the country to take advantage of the whistle-blower policy.
