Meanwhile, on December 6, Nigerians expressed disappointment in the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for allegedly delaying in fulfilling its promise to auction forfeited vehicles to members of the public.

The EFCC announced days ago that it will commence the physical inspection and auction of 649 forfeited vehicles on Tuesday, December 6, 2022.
