Asset Tracking: ICPC recovered ₦37.44 billion, $2.35 million in 2025, says official
The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has announced the recovery of ₦37.44 billion and $2.353 million in 2025 through asset seizures and forfeitures.
Its spokesperson, Okor Odey, said in a statement on Sunday that the ICPC chairman, Musa Aliyu (SAN), disclosed the figures in Abuja at the commission’s end-of-year engagement, send-off for retiring staff, and annual merit awards.
The chairman described the feat as one of the commission’s most significant annual recovery figures to date.
Mr Aliyu described 2025 as “a pivotal year marked by substantial progress across enforcement, prevention, and public enlightenment.”
Reviewing operational achievements, Mr Aliyu revealed that ICPC investigated 263 cases, exceeding its target of 250, and filed 61 cases in court, achieving a 55.74 per cent conviction rate.
”Among the year’s notable successes was the conviction of Prof. Cyril Ndifon of the University of Calabar, who received a five-year prison sentence for offences relating to sexual harassment and cyberbullying,” the ICPC boss stated.
Mr Aliyu noted that this judgment sent a strong signal of the commission’s resolve to confront all forms of abuse of office.
The chairman highlighted extensive preventive work undertaken across ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs).
”A total of 344 MDAs were assessed using the Ethics and Integrity Compliance Scorecard, while 66 corruption-monitoring activities and 1,490 project-tracking exercises were carried out nationwide.
”Systems Study and Corruption Risk Assessments were also completed in 12 MDAs, designed to reduce structural vulnerabilities to corruption.
”On public enlightenment, ICPC reached more than 235,000 Nigerians through 644 sensitisation activities, generated 3.5 million digital engagements, established 86 Anti-Corruption Clubs and Vanguards, and trained 2,707 participants at the ICPC Academy,” he said.
According to him, the commission also broadened its partnerships, initiating 15 collaborative activities, while civil society organisations executed 57 complementary engagements.
