EFCC Loses Bid To Seize Kogi Govt’s Properties In Dubai, Others

A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos has struck out its interim forfeiture order granted to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to confiscate some properties belonging to the Kogi State government.

EFCC’s lawyer, Mr. Rotimi Oyedepo, SAN, in suit FHC/L/CS/301/2023, told the court that the 14 properties linked to Kogi State Government in Lagos, Abuja and the United Arab Emirates “were reasonably suspected to have been derived from unlawful activity.”
