The Federal High Court Sitting in
Lagos has ordered the final forfeiture of a sum of N7,646,700,000 allegedly
hidden in a bank by a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs Diezani
Alison-Madueke, to the Federal Government.
The court had on August 9, 2017,
ordered the interim forfeiture of the sum said to have been illegally kept in
Sterling Bank Plc.
The order granted by the vacation
judge, Justice Chuka Obiozor, followed an ex parte application argued before
him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The EFCC also alleged that Mrs
Alison-Madueke stashed the money in three banks, and the Federal Government had
since February last year, through an order granted by another judge, Justice
Muslim Hassan also of the Federal High Court, recovered part of the money from
the other banks.
