Justice Akintayo Aluko of the Federal High Court, Lagos, on Thursday, ordered the interim forfeiture of $2.04m and seven properties linked to the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele.
The judge gave the order while ruling on an application filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The commission had earlier arraigned the ex-CBN governor for alleged fraudulent activities during his time in office.
