…….seeks to reclaim $9,772,800, £74,000,000 found in his
home
By Ikechukwu Nnochiri
ABUJA – Erstwhile Group Managing Director of the Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, Mr. Andrew Yakubu,
has asked a Federal High Court sitting in Kano to order the
Federal Government to return to him, over N3billion that
was found in his home in Kaduna.
Andrew Yakubu
Yakubu, in a motion on notice with suit number FHC/ICN/
CS/24/2017, filed by his lead counsel, Mr. Ahmed Raji, SAN,
asked the court to set aside the forfeiture order that
granted FG ownership of the money which was discovered
by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC, on February 9.
Specifically, he wants the court to set aside the order and
return the $9,772,800 and £74,000,000 which he said
belongs to him.
The former NNPC boss insisted that the court lacked the
jurisdiction to grant FG ownership of his money.
According to him, the court, was bereft of the territorial
jurisdiction to entertain the motion that culminated to the
forfeiture order since it related to a crime that was alleged
committed in Abuja.
Raji, SAN, contended that going by section 45 of the
Federal High Court Act, an offence should be tried only by a
court exercising jurisdiction in the area or place where the
offence was committed.
“No aspect of the perceived offence in respect of which the
Order of February 13, 2017 was made, was committed
within the Kano judicial division of this Honourable Court”,
Raji argued.
He further maintained that FG lacked the locus-standi to
seek the interim order of the court granted on February 13.
“By Section 28 of the EFCC Act, only the commission, i.e.
the EFCC has the vires to seek an order for the interim
forfeiture of property under the Act.
“The power of this Honourable Court to make interim
forfeiture order(s) pursuant to sections 28 & 29 of the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission Act, 2004
(herein after referred to a “EFCC Act”) is applicable ONLY to
alleged offences charged under the EFCC Act and not to
offences cognizable under any other law.
“The ex-parte order of this honourable court dated February
13, 2017, was made in respect of alleged offences under
the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related
Offences Commission Act (herein after “ICPC Act”) and not
the EFCC Act as prescribed by section 28 & 29 thereof.
“The conditions precedent to the grant of an interim
forfeiture order under sections 28 & 29 of the EFCC Act
were not complied with by the Applicant (FG) before the
Order was made”, he submitted.
Besides, he argued that the combined effect of sections 28
and 29 of the EFCC Act was that a charge alleging
infractions against the provisions of the EFCC Act ought to
be brought against a suspect before the powers of the court
under cections 28 & 29 of the EFCC Act, to order interim
forfeiture of property, could be activated.
He insisted that without a formal charge, no prima-facie
evidence could be established in order for the provisions of
section 28 and 29 of the EFCC Act to be activated.
“In the instant case, no charge was brought against the
Respondent/Applicant before the provisions of section 28
and 29 of the EFCC Act were activated to grant the ex-
parte Order of February 13, 2017”, he stated.
Yakubu was Group Managing Director of the NNPC between
2012 and 2014. He was sacked by the administration of
former President Goodluck Jonathan for alleged
insubordination and corruption.
EFCC operatives raided his house situated in Sabon Tasha,
Kaduna State, following a tip-off by a whistle-blower. The
agency disclosed that it discovered the sum of $9.7m and
£74,000 that Yakubu hid in a fireproof safe inside the house. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/02/give-me-back-my-money-yakubu-tells-court/ |
