According to Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, it retrieved around $500 million in criminal gains in the previous year.
The agency’s anti-graft campaign, which was started by the administration of President Bola Tinubu, includes the recovery attempt.
In addition, 975 residences, firm shares, and more than 931,000 metric tonnes of petroleum products were confiscated.
Additionally, the commission achieved almost 4,000 criminal convictions, the most since it was established more than 20 years ago, according to a report released on Monday.
The agency says some of the recovered money has been reinvested in government projects.
Nigeria has struggled for decades with endemic corruption, which many say contributes to widespread poverty.
The country is ranked 140 out of 180 on Transparency International’s latest Corruption Perception Index.
