The ICPC decried the delay in the determination of corruption cases in the country.
The Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, said it received 872 petitions in 2013.
This was contained in the ICPC annual report made available on Thursday in Abuja.
In the report, the ICPC said 754 of the petitions were directed to the commission while the remaining were complaints to other anti-corruption agencies that were copied to the commission.
It said 434 petitions were referred for investigation out of which 176 have been concluded.
According to the report, the commission filed 43 cases in various courts and secured seven convictions while it lost two in 2013.
It said 16 civil cases were won by the commission, adding that estimated property valued at N806.3 million were seized in the period.
The report stated that N469.3 million cash was recovered and remitted to the Federation Account by the commission while N503.3 million was currently in the ICPC’s recovery account.
The ICPC decried the delay in the determination of corruption cases in the country.
It said that interlocutory appeals, frivolous adjournments, assignment of designated judges to tribunals and intimidation of witnesses were responsible for such delays.
It commended staff of the commission for their dedication to duty within the year and called for adequate funding of the commission’s capital projects, to enhance its efficiency.

The first computer built entirely with carbon nanotubes has been unveiled, opening the door to a new generation of digital devices. "Cedric" is only a basic prototype but could be developed into a machine which is smaller, faster and more efficient than today's silicon models. Nanotubes have long been touted as the heir to silicon's throne, but building a working computer has proven awkward. The breakthrough by Stanford University engineers is published in Nature. Cedric is the most complex carbon-based electronic system yet realised. So is it fast? Not at all. It might have been in 1955. Cedric's vital statistics *.1 bit processor *.Speed: 1 kHz *.178 transistors *.10-200 nanotubes per transistor *.2 billion carbon atoms *.Turing complete *.Multitasking The computer operates on just one bit of information, and can only count to 32. "In human terms, Cedric can count on his hands and sort the alphabet. But he is, in the full sense of the word, ...
