A Federal High Court in Lagos has ordered the final forfeiture of a vacant plot of land linked to former Petroleum Minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke.
The land is situated at Plot 13, Block I, Oniru Chieftaincy Family Private Estate, Lekki, Lagos.
Justice Akintayo Aluko made the order following an application by the Head of Legal Section, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Anselem Ozioko and a legal officer in the Commission, Abbas Mohammed.
Justice Babs Kuewuni had on May 15, 2018, approved interim forfeiture of the said land.
In making the final forfeiture order, Justice Aluko upheld the EFCC’s motion on notice dated February 17, 2022.
The judge held: “A final order is hereby granted forfeiting the property/asset listed and described in the schedule herein to the Federal Government of Nigeria.”
