The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says it will provide whistleblowers with financial incentives for information that leads to recovery of stolen assets. EFCC Chairman Olu Olukoyede makes the pledge in a video message, stating that incentives will be paid “upon recovery” of loot linked to credible tips.
Olukoyede says the scheme is intended to encourage people to come forward with intelligence that is actionable and credible. He also says whistleblowers are promised adequate protection as they share information. The incentives are described as a range, with between 2.5% and 5% of recovered loot returning to the informant, depending on the recovery outcome.
Both outlets report the same core details: the EFCC’s announcement, the incentive range of 2.5%–5%, and the emphasis on protection for those providing tips. They differ mainly in wording, including how they frame the purpose of the incentive and the quotation used from Olukoyede.
