The judge gave the order forfeiting the assets to the Federal Government of Nigeria while ruling on the application by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission asking for the final forfeiture of the assets.
The Commission had on November 29, 2021 secured the interim forfeiture on the assets in a ruling on a separate motion ex-parte filed on September 27, 2021 which prayed the court to order the interim forfeiture of the assets on the grounds of reasonable suspicion that they were proceeds of unlawful activities.
