The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has summoned a bank’s managing director and its Chief Compliance officer for alleged failure to remit N6.3billion in its custody to the Treasury Single Account.

The cash belonged to the defunct Presidential Implementation Committee on the Alienation of the Federal Government Landed Property.

Also, the anti- graft agency has recovered $2.33million from a contractor who was involved in the controversial $2.1billion arms purchase by the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA).

The name of the contractor was kept under wraps last night to allow for more “recovery of funds and in order not to jeopardise investigation”.
