Justice Mojisola Olatoregun of a Federal High Court in Lagos has ordered the temporary forfeiture of N2.2billion recovered from former Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Adesola Amosu to the federal government.

The court issued the ruling following an ex-parte application by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) through its lawyer, Rotimi Oyedepo.

The judge ruled: “An interim order is made forfeiting to the Federal Government of Nigeria the total sum of N2,244,500,000 found and recovered by the commission from the first respondent (Amosu) which sum is reasonably suspected to be proceeds of unlawful activity.”

The judge also granted an interim order for the temporary forfeiture of N190,828,978.15 recovered from a former Nigerian Air Force Director of Finance and Budget, Air Commodore Olugbenga Gbadebo.

Justice Olatoregun also ordered temporary forfeiture of N101 million recovered from Solomon Enterprises, a company linked to Amosu.

The judge adjourned until June 29.

According to EFCC, Amosu and Air Vice Marshal Jacob Bola Adigun between July 17 and September 16, 2014, allegedly removed over N663.4million from the Nigerian Air Force accounts to purchase properties at 50-52 Tenterden Grove, London (NW4 1TH) and at 93B Shirehall Park, LondonNW4 2QU, United Kingdom.

They were accused of buying 40A, Bourdillon, Ikoyi, with N900million, and a property at Sinari Daranijo in Victoria Island with N1.5billion.

EFCC said they also bought a property named as Cappadol Mall at Adetokunbo Ademola Street, Wuse II Abuja, for N750million, as well as a property worth over N1.7billion at Agobogba Street, Parkview, Ikoyi Lagos, using the airforce’s money.

Other properties they allegedly bought using Air Force’s funds include one at Salt Lake Street, Maitama, Abuja; one at Agadez Street off Aminu Kano Crescent, Abuja; 61A, Lake Chad Street, Maitama, Abuja; and one at 1, River Street, Wuse II Abuja using alleged stolen funds.

The accused also allegedly used N428,139,539.00 removed from the accounts of the Nigerian Air Force to renovate and purchase medical equipment for Solomon HealthCare Ltd situated at No. 24 Adeniyi Jones Street, Ikeja, Lagos.

No! Rather the selective justice syndrome approach adopted by the Santimonious Buhari-led APC regime to its inhouse criminals is the biggest obstruction to the fight against graft & administration of criminal justice.

sorry if it is a selective anti corruption war so be it so far those that re been convicted re not innocent of the crime.
if this is what pdp have been doing to opposition back then corruption will not grow to be a monster.and by now apc too should have fight back by jailing pdp looters too when they took over then we the masses re the winner

How come only female judges have been the ones giving it to these looters hot and hot whilst their men counterparts look the other way, aside Justice Okon Abang? From Abuja to Kano to Lagos, our female judges are blazing the trail.

-Meanwhile, we all know Bokoharam is sponsored by the security outfits, the government of those states in particular.. these states receive grants and charity beyond what they receive as allocations..

If the north wants to end bokoharam, let them swap political parties and they would be amazed what their brothers have done to them.
