Justice Aneke gave the order after entertaining a motion on notice filed and argued by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), through its lawyer, Aliyu Mohammed.

The properties are No.8b, Bedwell Road, Ikoyi; No.3, Force Road, Ikoyi, Lagos; No.14, Glover Road, Ikoyi, Lagos; No.6, Marina,  Ikoyi, Lagos and No. 28, Point Road, Apapa, Lagos.

The EFCC had claimed that its investigation revealed that the properties were fraudulently misappropriated and the sale proceeds diverted for personal use.

The court had, on March 4, 2024, ordered the interim forfeiture of the properties reasonably suspected to be proceeds of unlawful activity and also directed the publication of the order in a national newspaper for any interested person to show cause why they should not be permanently forfeited to the federal government of Nigeria.
