9 filling stations, event centres… EFCC secures forfeiture of N10.9bn property linked to ‘top military officer’

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says it has secured the final forfeiture of 24 properties “linked to a top military officer”.

The anti-graft agency disclosed this in a statement issued on Tuesday.

According to the statement, N.E. Maha, justice of the federal high court in Abuja, granted the order for the final forfeiture of the properties on Monday.

The name of the military officer was, however, not given.

The development followed an application filed by the EFCC in May 2020, after the court granted an order for interim forfeiture of the properties.

Following the application for final forfeiture, the court ordered that notices be published in national newspapers “inviting persons with interest in the properties to show cause why they should not be finally forfeited to the federal government”.

“With no such interest shown by any entity, Justice Maha on Monday, February 14, 2022, ordered the final forfeiture of the properties to the Federal Government of Nigeria,” the statement reads.
