The research design was a survey design, the research was both qualitative and quantitative, 197 respondents from the target population were interviewed, primary and secondary method of data collection was adopted, and literature were sourced from Journals, conference papers, bulletins, Magazines, EFCC reports, etc. some high profile and ongoing corruption cases as well as convictions, cash recoveries, and asset forfeiture were highlighted. Results and literature showed that the EFCC has helped in curbing corruption to some extent but not appreciably.
