Federal High Court Vacates Forfeiture Order on Ekweremadu's 40 properties

A Federal High Court in Abuja has vacated an interim forfeiture of 40 landed properties granted against the former Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu

Justice Inyang Ekwo vacated the order following a discovery that the Forfeiture Order was fraudulently obtained by the Federal Government against the properties.

The Judge while lifting the order held that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC which obtained the order on behalf of the Federal Government concealed information that led to granting it.

Specifically, Justice Ekwo said that EFCC which was fully aware that Ekweremadu was in custody in the United Kingdom failed to make the vital information available to the court.

With his detention in London, the Judge agreed with Chief Adegboyega Awomolo SAN, counsel to Ekweremadu that there was no way the former Deputy Senate President could defend his ownership of the disputed properties.

Justice Ekwo had on 4 November 2022 issued an interim Forfeiture Order in favour of the Federal Government following an ex-parte application brought before by the EFCC.

The Judge specifically directed that anybody who had interest in the forfeited properties should indicate within 14 days of the publication of the interim forfeiture order from the court.

The former Deputy Senate President and his wife are currently standing trial in the United Kingdom for alleged organ harvesting.

Much as I want Ekweremmadu to rot in jail, I wont fail to let you know that the real slap on the face of suffering Nigerians is Tinubu contesting to be President. Someone that milked and is still milking Lagos state. Have you seen the trending video of what Tinubu is still taking from Lagos state?
