The Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Abdulrasheed Bawa has re-affirmed the commitment of the Commission to combat the menace of money laundering and other forms of corruption in the real estate sector.

In a statement by the Commission, he reiterated this commitment while receiving the President of Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors Valuers, NIESV, Chief Emmanuel Okas Wike who paid him a Courtesy Visit at the EFCC’s Corporate Headquarters in Abuja.

According to him, the real estate sector still remains a safe haven of money launderers, stressing that the EFCC will not relent in ridding the sector of the menace.

He however urged members of the NIESV to comply with extant laws regulating their practices, by furnishing the EFCC with full details of suspicious transactions in line with the Money Laundering Prevention and Prohibition Act(2022). `
