The Economic and Financial Crimes  Commission  (EFCC)  secured the conviction of about 60 persons  facing  trial for financial  crimes  in Rivers State  during  the year.



  The  anti-corruption  agency also noted that  according  to  its records, internet fraud  outnumbered  the convictions and criminal cases it  investigates  and  called  on  the public to provide it with useful information to  assist  in  its  work.
 
  The  commission  made this disclosure during an  anti-corruption  walk in Port Harcourt organized by the Port Harcourt Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in  collaboration  with  civil  society  organizations  and  sister  security agencies and Relief International Africa to  commemorate  the 2024 African Union Anti-Corruption  Day  with  the  tag  "Effective  Whistleblower  Protection Mechanism,  a  Critical Tool in the  Fight  against  Corruption".
 
 
 
  The Acting Zonal Director of EFCC, Port Harcourt Zonal Directorate, Adebayo Adeniyi, said oil theft  was  one of the crimes that  made  the  fight  against  corruption  in the state  special,  pointing  out  that  the  level  of  crime  in the  state  was  high.
