The House of Representatives Committee on
National Security and Intelligence has met with the Acting Chairman of the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu over the cash
recovered in an apartment in the Ikoyi area of Lagos State.
According to the Chairman of the
Committee, Sani Jaji, who spoke to the media at the end of the meeting, the
parley with the boss of the anti-graft agency was part of the investigation
into the more than 43 million dollars recovered from the apartment.
“Although there may have been
silence over the huge cash haul uncovered in Osborne Towers, the matter is by
no means forgotten,” he said.
Amid unclear circumstances
surrounding the ownership of the cash, the Federal High Court sitting in Lagos
subsequently granted its final forfeiture to the Federal Government.
Justice Muslim Hassan, who had on
April 13 granted a temporary forfeiture of the $43m, N23m and £27,800 ordered
its permanent forfeiture after no one appeared to provide concrete evidence of
ownership.
