Moves by former Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Mr Andrew Yakubu, to recover his $9.8m seized by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has hit the rock.
The Federal High Court in Kano refused to grant the ex GMD’s application for overturn the interim order of forfeiture given to the EFCC
Ruling on the application filed Yakubu’s lawyer, Ahmad Raji, Justice Zainab Abubakar said the court has jurisdiction to hear the case, contrary to the argument of Mr. Raji.
The judge also said that the application seeking to set aside the case lacks basic legal framework and that the EFCC is competent according to Section 29 of its Act to seek for the order of interim forfeiture.
The EFCC had on February 13, 2017 secured the Federal High Court order on the forfeiture of the over $9.8 million retrieved from Mr. Yakubu’s house in Kaduna.

Oloriburuku!

A man meant to cover his face in shame, never to appear in public and meant to have committed suicide a long time ago when the $9.8million naira was discovered. He still has the effrontery to litigate.

One of the best news ever after PBM traveled for his medical trip !!!

You have said it all... the man believes there is a fool out there willing to defend him and stand by him no matter the crime.

So this yakubu guy still have the moral to appeal in court??

Dont mind the hypocrite!

The dude hypocrisy almost hit legendary status.

Liepods will obviously be pained and disappointed. Had the shameless thief succeeded in overturning the ruling, wailing zombies would have invaded the thread with their idiotic comments such as "Buhari's corruption fight is a scam", Buhari can't even​ convict anyone, blablabla.

Their brain is filled with baking powder.
