Ekweremadu In Fresh Trouble As Courts Orders Interim Forfeiture Of 40 Landed Properties Belonging To Him
A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has today ordered an interim forfeiture of 40 landed properties belonging to former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu.
CityNews reports that the High Court’s judgement followed an ex-parte motion filed and moved by Ibrahim Buba on behalf of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Ekweremadu, is currently in custody in the United Kingdom, over allegations of organ harvesting.
Justice Inyang Ekwo, who presided over the suit numbered, FHC/ABJ/CS/1242/2022, ordered the anti-graft agency to publish the interim forfeiture order of the properties in a national daily within seven days from the date the order was given.
Justice Ekwo in a short ruling on the exparte motion advanced that anybody interested in the properties covered by the interim forfeiture order should indicate within 14 days of the publication of the interim forfeiture order of the court.
The order covers ten of Ekweremadu’s properties in Enugu, three in the United States of America (USA), two in the United Kingdom (UK), one in Lagos, nine in Dubai, and 15 in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The high court Justice adjourned the hearing to December 5, 2022, to get feedback from EFCC if there is any objection from any member of the public regarding the properties.
