In a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos yesterday,Justice Mojisola Olatoregun ordered the final forfeiture of N2.2 billion recovered from former Chief of Air Staff Marshal Adesola Amosu. The judge made the order based on an application by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Justice Olatoregun ordered that the total sum of N2, 244,500,000 found and recovered by the commission from Amosu be paid into the Federal Government’s Treasury Single Account (TSA) with Guarantee Trust Bank. The judge affirmed the EFCC’s stance that the money was reasonably suspected to be “proceeds of unlawful activity.
Also forfeited is N101 million recovered from Solomon Enterprises, a company linked to Amosu. Justice Olatoregun held that EFCC complied with the orders made on June 7, 2018.
Including that the interim forfeiture be advertised in two national newspapers so that the respondents or anyone interested could show cause as to why the final order of forfeiture should not be made in favour of the Federal Government

Let him get any of the SANs to fight this forfeiture. Even if he eventually wins, a couple of hungry people will snuff him like a common chicken on the street. "The HUNGRY are awake, the dirty RICH cannot sleep".
