EFCC chairman Ola Olukoyede says no recovered or forfeited assets will be mismanaged under his watch. He makes the pledge as Nigeria continues to debate how such assets should be managed, including concerns that assets could be handled improperly once recovered from suspects.
Olukoyede also addresses proposals that would place asset management under a single agency. Across the reports, he argues against the idea of centralizing control, presenting his position alongside the broader assurance that recovered assets will be properly handled. The outlets frame his comments as both a response to public anxiety and an intervention in an ongoing policy discussion.
While both sources emphasize his commitment to accountability, they focus on different parts of his remarks: one highlights his statement that even small amounts, “not a pin, penny,” will be protected from mismanagement, while the other stresses his stance on the structure of asset management and his view that a one-agency approach may not be appropriate.
