Shut up....you this smartass! It says more about your insecure and bigoted nature that you get threatened by a simple question!

What stops the EFCC asking in their application for whatever is recovered to go back to the state concerned....instead of the long-winded option you suggest? Wouldn’t it save time and money...not to mention to added red-tape?
Shut up and stop being an emotional dingbat.. There'd be a final seizure before handing over to the state. They're against the ibos bla bla bla.. Nonsense!

Okorocha forfeits state-of-the art hospital to Federal Government



Okorocha, now the property of the Federal Government

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC secured another victory Friday in its campaign against grand corruption in public service as Justice T.G Ringin of a Federal High Court sitting in Owerri, ordered the final forfeiture of a hospital linked to former governor Rochas Okorocha.

Dews of Hope Hospital, located in the heart of Imo capital of Owerri Dews of Hope Hospital is a N1.5 Billion state-of-the-art 200-bed hospital, whose ownership was denied by a former aide to Okorocha.
The forfeiture came a day after the commission secured the conviction and sentencing of former governor Orji Uzor Kalu of Abia State(1999-2007) for money laundering and corruption.

The Commission had on August 22, 2019 secured the interim forfeiture of the Owerri hospital from a vacation Judge, Justice A. T Mohammed of Federal High Court, Port Harcourt.

The application for interim forfeiture was triggered by evidence that the facility may have been acquired through proceeds of illicit activities, as funds from Government House, Owerri were traced to the hospital.

The Commission’s investigation revealed that Dr. Paschal Obi, former Permanent Secretary and Principal Secretary to then Governor Okorocha, now a serving member of the House of Representatives, was a signatory to the accounts.

However, Obi, like members of the board of the hospital, vehemently denied ownership of the medical facility.
The managing director of the hospital on invitation, could not also explain how the hospital was funded.

These developments led the Commission to file for the forfeiture of the property on July 25, 2019 under Section 17 of the Advance Fee Fraud,and Other Related Offences Act 2006.

In granting the request for the interim forfeiture of the property, the court ordered the anti-graft agency to publish the Order in a national newspaper, which was accordingly complied with in the Nation Newspaper of August 30, 2019 and Leadership Newspaper of September 3,2019 respectively, asking interested parties to show cause why the property should not be forfeited to the federal government within fourteen days from the dates of the publications.

Upon the expiration of the fourteen day notice and with no one showing interest in the hospital, the Commission filed for the final forfeiture of the facility.

The hospital located at the heart of Owerri metropolis, had an adjourning staff and doctor’s quarters.

We can now see the reason Okorocha is desperate to become President of Nigeria

So that he can have Nigeria under his toe.

But this hospital should be forfeited to Imo state government not the federal government.

The fact that the federal government prosecute the case does not give them the right to claim property at the state level.

Why are all these assets seized from Igbo ex-governors who never held federal employment, being grabbed by the federal gov’t? Shouldn’t they go to the states where they governed?

Let me teach you a trick.

Let Ihedioha institute a judicial commission of inquiry (not administrative) with terms of reference of determining proceeds of corruption. It would be gazetted and the recommendations would be implemented by the state government.

Igbo Governors are not interested in fighting corruption, they are interested in fighting opponents. If they fight corruption, they would also be affected.

Ihedioha has been sincere about what okoroawusa did to Imo state. Okoroawusa stole the entire present and future of Imo state up to 200yrs into the future. No wonder there is no single good road in Imo state. Ndi Imo deserves our pity



Wiseandtrue:
See where greed has landed many undecided

Many of our politicians reading this still wouldn't learn

Serve the people whole heartedly! Good name is better than riches!!!

So Rochas Okorocha stole afterall evidence that Ihedioha was not witch hunting him!!!

To avoid decay, FG should hand over these properties to the state government for proper and good use!!!

No go dey implant your people for there all in the name of nepotism, ruga or what have you undecided

Nigerians are watching!!!

You are as dumb as far as your brain can take you, someone is trying to straighten your line of thinking and u are still exhibiting your high ignorance, is EFCC a state prosecutor or federal? Is it imo state that initiated the case or federal government?

Nice development.

But d govt should allow a private body manage it or sell it off. Cos that hospital is better off in the hands of a private body, than any tier of govt.

Sell it off and do what with the money?

Why not Imo government?

He couldn't have stolen FGs money, if he stole at all.

The properties seized from ex state chief executives should have been given to the states from where they most likely get the loot from.

The owner did not come forward so you can't say if the owner stole from fg or state. Assuming this was conviction based forfeiture, this your line of reasoning would have been in order.

This is wrong. The money embezzled to build that hospital belong to Imo state. Therefore, the hospital should be returned to the state and not federa government. This is simply second embezzlement just that this time, the federal government is the culprit.

This debate started in the time of James Ibori, when the FG seized everything recovered from him instead of giving them to Delta State government.

I thought they had resolved this issue.

The EFCC Act has to be amended because this is wrong; EFCC cannot be seizing recovered state loots because that's another form of corruption.

In all this, Nigerians are the biggest losers because unlike governors, ex-presidents don't probe themselves in Nigeria. Their cult is strong.
