A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos has ordered the interim forfeiture of $1.4 million said to be linked to former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Godwin Emefiele.
The order, granted by Justice Ayokunle Faji, directs the forfeiture of the funds to the Federal Government of Nigeria.
The court also ordered the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to publish the interim forfeiture order in a national newspaper, allowing anyone interested in the money to appear before the court within 14 days and show cause why the final order of forfeiture should not be made.
