The Chief Executive Officer, Panic Alert Security System, Mr. George Uboh, had disclosed how the Chairman of the EFCC, Ibrahim Lamorde, allegedly short-changed Nigeria of over N2tn.

But Uboh, on Saturday said the over N1.7bn recovered from 15 companies was “over-due taxes on behalf of FIRS. Documents Uboh made available to journalists showed that the funds were recovered between 2010 and 2011.
