Buhari is trying to kill corruption,but not easy without improving our economy as well,but he need to appoint a young brilliant sound mind as a finance minister,FG need to talk to China so that some selected Nigerian engineers and technicians can learn how to produce electronics and other technological devices,we need to be taught how to fish technologically,not to just use our resources to buy fishes

Having brilliant youth as part of the cabinet is the first step, following a laid down goal and vision is another task.

This government is all about propaganda even our Professor VP isn't active as expected, I was expecting him to charge his cabinet to work rather than been a bandwagon to the team and cabals. A word is enough for the wise they say, Nigerians should do in their best interest to retire every old politicians and de-tribe this nation for better to come.

The current state of the country is caused by tribalism and religion, unity is not an easy task rather a process which can be achieved through amnesty and collaboration, not just NYSC, the scheme is clueless why not having Ayomide Johnson as Abia State governor, Musa Hamza as governor of Enugu state, Chibuzo Okeke as governor of Lagos state and so on.

The time is now let's work for a better Nigeria

Jonathan the buffoon really destroyed Nigeria.

But despite that, he is a learner compared to Atiku.

I shudder whenever I think of what will be left of Nigeria after four years of an Atiku presidency.

Those military men who are refunding these amounts should be tied to empty drums and shot.

This Country is finished!!
The wealth of the nation is fraudulently in the hands of the few which is what this president is up against and largely the cause of sufferings for most Nigerians.

The thing is we don't see these monies recovered put into a particular project, so Nigerians can know that the money recovered from xyz was used to build this hospital etc


The blind don't see.

Were recovered funds listed as one of the sources of revenue in the national budget? Are there dedicated accounts for them?

Perhaps you don't know....now who's fault is it that you aren't willing to make inquisitions?

Published January 16, 2019
The Federal High Court in Lagos on Wednesday ordered a former Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Adesola Amosu (retd.), to permanently forfeit to the Federal Government a sum of N2.2bn found by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in his possession.

A former NAF’s Director of Finance and Budget, Air Commodore Olugbenga Gbadebo, was equally ordered to permanently forfeit a sum of N190,828,978.15 recovered from him to the Federal Government.

Also forfeited was a sum of N101m recovered from Solomon Enterprises, a company linked to Amosu.

Justice Mojisola Olatoregun ordered that the forfeited funds should be paid into the Federal Government’s Treasury
Single Account, adding that the order must be complied with within 14 days and the EFCC must file an affidavit to show compliance.

The judge said having looked at the application brought before her for the forfeiture of the sums, she saw no reason why Amosu, Gbadebo and Solomon Enterprises should not be ordered to permanently forfeit the money to the Federal Government.

She said she agreed with the EFCC that the funds were proceeds of criminal activities, holding that, “They (the defendants) failed to provide any facts as to the level of probability to ascertain if the funds were obtained unlawfully.”

The EFCC had last year secure an interim order temporarily forfeiting the funds to the Federal Government.

The anti-graft agency after publishing the interim forfeiture orders in the newspapers, subsequently applied to the court for the final forfeiture of the rules.

Ruling on the application on Wednesday, Justice Olatoregun held, “Upon examination of the two applications asking that the interim orders be set aside, dated July 28, 2018, from the first respondent and the interested party, I found no reason to set aside the orders. The applications are hereby dismissed.

“The only conclusion I can reach is that the funds are proceeds of unlawful activity.

“The affidavits disclose no reason why the order of final forfeiture should not be made.”

In ordering the permanent forfeiture of the funds to the Federal Government, Justice Olatoregun rejected the argument of the defence counsel that the N22.8bn fraud charges against Amosu and others were still pending before the court and that the forfeiture order would foist a fait accompli on their clients should they not be found guilty.

Justice Olatoregun said the forfeiture proceedings were an “action in rem” and a non-conviction based forfeiture.
“The requirements for the two proceedings are different and distinct,” she held.

She emphasised that in a forfeiture proceedings, evidential burden shifts to the respondents to prove that they obtained the money lawfully, which she said they failed to do.

“The case (forfeiture) can go in the face of the criminal proceedings,” she said.

For those who would like to know:

The FG cannot spend these monies anyhow. They have to be kept in the treasury and used to fund the budget -- as provisions as already been made to use funds recovered from corrupt persons to be included in the budget.

So before you shout "what have they been using these funds for? " just remember there is a process and the funds allocated to ministries and infrastructure could be from these recovered loots and assets.
welcome to due process
