The properties are: No8b Bedwell Road, Ikoyi, No3, Force Road, Ikoyi, Lagos, No14 Glover Road, Ikoyi, Lagos, No6 Marina,Ikoyi, Lagos and No28 Point Road, Apapa, Lagos.
The judge had, on March 4, 2024, ordered the interim forfeiture of the properties reasonably suspected to be proceeds of an unlawful activity and also directed the publication of the Order in national newspapers for any interested person to show cause why they should not be permanently forfeited to the Federal Government of Nigeria.
Moving the application for forfeiture of the properties on Wednesday, July 17, 2024, Mohammed told the Court that the Commission had complied with the Order of the Court regarding the publication.
He also submitted that “It will be in the interest of justice for the Court to grant the prayers of being sought and also order the final forfeiture of the property to the Federal Government”.
The judge, after listening to the submissions of the EFCC’s counsel, ordered the final forfeiture of the five properties to the Federal Government of Nigeria in favour of Nigeria Army Properties Limited (NAPL).
