The ministry of finance is ready to release the payment of the person who led the EFCC to a horde of cash at an apartment in Ikoyi, The Punch reports.
However, the final payment is being delayed by some processes in the EFCC.
“The ministry of finance is not directly involved in the recovery of looted fund; that is the responsibility of the various security agencies," an official of the finance ministry reportedly said.
“Our role is to make payment and you will recall that last week, the finance minister said payment would be made this month to the person who assisted in the recovery of looted funds including the Ikoyi whistle-blower.
“That process is on and final payment can be released when we receive confirmation from the agency that made the recovery before we can know who to pay money to.
“In the case of the Ikoyi recovery, we are talking of the EFCC which is the agency that made the recovery and once they give us final confirmation, payment would be made.”
