The Federal High Court in Lagos has ordered the forfeiture of another property (land) linked to former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke.
Justice Chuka Obiozor held that the property, a land , was illegally acquired following an application by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
“Upon careful appraisal of the applicant’s motion on notice for final forfeiture before me, I find that the property constitutes a proceed of unlawful act,” Justice Chuka said.
The commission said the land, measuring 7,903.71 – 8,029.585 square metres, is on Plot 9, Azikiwe Road, Old GRA (UAC Property on Forces Avenue), Port Harcourt.
According to reports, the EFCC prayed the court for an order to allow it “appoint a competent person or firm to manage the asset/property”.
