Truetells Nigeria reports that fresh data from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has revealed that no fewer than 58 former governors have allegedly looted, embezzled and laundered a total of ₦2.187 trillion in 25 years since democracy returned to Nigeria.
Vanguard put the looted money as equivalent to the 2024 budget of Lagos state (N2.25 trillion) and the entire southeast states ( N2.29 trillion).
