The African Union Anti-corruption Day 2019 took place in Benin City, the Edo State capital  and in Kaduna on Thursday July 11, 2019, with pomp and pageantry.

The event which had the theme, "Towards a Common African Position on Asset Recovery" was commemorated with a Road Walk which commenced at the EFCC office through Sapele Road, Ring Road, Oba Market Road, Plymouth Road, Ezoti Street before terminating at the EFCC office.

The Benin Zonal Head of the EFCC, Muhtar Bello, represented the Acting Chairman of the Commission, Ibrahim Magu, who commended anti-corruption stakeholders in the state for identifying with the EFCC in its noble and patriotic duties, assuring that the Commission will “continue to work assiduously to ensure that monies stolen from Nigeria are returned to the country."
