<\/h2>\n
Justice Saliu Saidu of a Federal High Court in Lagos on Thursday ordered the temporary forfeiture to the Federal Government of Flat 7B, Osborne Towers, Ikoyi, Lagos.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
The property housed the sums of $43.3 million, \u00a327,800, and N23 million in cash.<\/div>\n
The judge issued the orders following an ex parte application by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).<\/div>\n
Before now, the anti-graft agency had mentioned the wife of the sacked Director-General of the Nigeria Intelligence Agency, Folashade Oke, as the owner of the flat.<\/div>\n
The commission said it found out that Mrs. Oke made a cash payment of $1.6 million for the purchase of the flat between August 25 and September 3, 2015.<\/div>\n
The EFCC further argued that the woman purchased the property in the name of a company, Chobe Ventures Ltd, of which she and her son, were directors.<\/div>\n
The payments were made to Fine and Country Ltd.<\/div>\n
The anti-graft agency explained that Mrs. Oke made the cash payment in tranches of 700,000 dollars , 650,000 dollars, and 353,700 dollars, to a subsidiary of a Bureau de Change \u2014 Sulah Petroleum and Gas Ltd.<\/div>\n
The company was said to have later converted the sums into N360 million and subsequently paid it to Fine and Country Ltd for the purchase of the property.<\/div>\n
The judge adjourned the case until November 30 for any interested party to appear and show cause why the interim forfeiture should not be a permanent forfeiture. (NAN)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
