On Monday, a Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, presided over by Justice Deinde I. Dipeolu, ordered the final forfeiture of 20 cars stolen from Canada and shipped to Nigeria for sale. This decision came after a motion on notice filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). The cars will be forfeited to the Federal Government of Nigeria.
Justice Dipeolu had, on May 27, 2024, ordered the interim forfeiture of the cars and also directed the publication of the order in any national newspaper for any interested person to appear before the court and show cause why it should not be finally forfeited.
At the sitting on Monday, the EFCC, through its counsel, R.A. Abdulrasheed, told the court that the Commission had complied with the order of the court regarding the publication.
Moving the motion for the final forfeiture order, Abdulrasheed told the court that the application was supported with a 17-paragraph affidavit deposed to by Olufemi Olukini, an investigator with the EFCC, and a written address.
Justice Dipeolu, after listening to the submissions by Abdulrasheed, ordered the final forfeiture of the cars.
The forfeited cars are: Black colour SUV 400, White 4MATIC Mercedez Benz; SUV MDX SH-AWD Acura; Grey colour SUV RS 350L Lexus; Deep Blue SUV RX 350 Lexus, White Toyota 4Runner 2015; White 2020 model Lexus RX 350; White 2019 Lexus RX 350, Black 2020 Model Lexus RX350, and Black Honda Ridgeline 2017 Model.
