The Federal High Court sitting in Lagos State has granted an order of interim forfeiture of 14 properties in Lagos, Abuja, and Dubai, all linked to the Kogi State Government.
Delivering judgment, the presiding Judge, Nicholas Oweibo granted the order following an ex parte application filed by counsel to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
Justice Oweibo directed the EFCC to confiscate the sum of N400million also linked to the state and recovered from one Aminu Falala.
The judge also ordered the Commission to publish the order within 14 days for any interested party to show cause why the forfeiture order should not be made permanently.
