The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has announced that at least six winners have emerged to take possession of different forfeited houses and landed property it put on sale.
Daily Trust reports that the anti-graft agency had last year commenced the sealed bidding exercise and began its physical aspect on Monday in Abuja where there was no winner for lot 1, 2 and 3.
