A Lagos Federal High Court, on Tuesday, granted a final
forfeiture of the $43.4m, £27,800 and N23.2m found in Ikoyi apartment by the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to the Federal Government.
Justice Hassan gave the order after the huge funds remained
unclaimed.
Following the discovery of the huge sum, the Rivers State
government alleged that it owned the money but never came out to claim
ownership.
Recently, the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike had claimed
that he had evidence showing that the money belonged to his state and at the
right time he will make the evidence public.
