The Independent Corrupt Practices
and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) says Adenike Ishola, a deputy
commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), will
forfeit an estate for alleged fraud.
In a statement on Monday, the
commission said it secured a court order to seize Ishola’s properties, which
include an estate with 60 houses, traced to her at Sabon Lugbe, Abuja.
The ICPC said the order for the
interim forfeiture of the assets was made by Okon-Abang, a judge of the federal
high court in Abuja .
Ishola, in the course of trial,
was said to have jumped bail and fled the country.
“In its sustained determination
to recover assets acquired with the proceeds of crime by corrupt persons, the
ICPC has secured an interim forfeiture order on two assets located at Sabon
Lugbe, Abuja,” the ICPC said.
“Following a motion of ex parte
filed by counsel for the ICPC, John Okwor, Justice Okon-Abang of the Federal
High Court 6, sitting in Abuja granted the order against the assets linked to
an erstwhile staff of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Ms Adenike
Ishola, and her company, Faith Winners Properties Nigeria Ltd.
“The properties include an estate
of 60 buildings at Plot No. MF1296 (10.9ha), Sabon Lugbe South-West Extension
(Goza Airport Road), Abuja, and a property at Plot No.ED1295 (9.6ha), located
at Sabon Lugbe South-West Extension (Goza Airport Road), Abuja.
“Ishola, a Deputy Commandant, and
her company are standing trial before the Federal Capital Territory High Court
in charge No FCT/HC/CR/101/2013 for using her company to hoodwink unsuspecting
members of the public into subscribing for allocation in a proposed housing
estate while passing off the said estate project as collaboration with her
employer. In the course of the trial, Ishola jumped bail, and available
information indicates that she is out of the country.”
