A federal high Court sitting in Lagos has ordered an interim forfeiture of the sum of $4,719,054, N830,875,611, and several properties linked to the embattled former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr. Godwin Emefiele.
Justice Yellim Bogoro made the order on Thursday, following an ex-parte application by the counsel for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Bilkisu Buhari and C.C Chineye.
Justice Bogoro, after taking the lawyers’ submission, held: “I have listened to the submission of the applicant’s counsel and also perused the motion just moved, together with the affidavit in support.
“I find merit in the application and same is hereby granted as prayed.
