Court Seizes Emefiele's $2.4m And Properties.
~1.3 mins read
A Federal High Court in Lagos has ordered the interim forfeiture of $2.04 million and seven properties linked to former Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Godwin Emefiele. Justice Akintayo Aluko made the order following an application by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), which is investigating Emefiele for alleged fraudulent activities.
The properties affected include prime real estate in Lekki and Ikoyi, Lagos, and a large industrial complex under construction in Agbor, Delta State. The court also ordered the interim forfeiture of two share certificates of Queensdorf Global Fund Limited Trust, a company allegedly linked to Emefiele.
The EFCC argued that the assets were obtained through fraudulent activities and that the court had the power to make the interim forfeiture order. The court was empowered to make the order pursuant to Section 17 of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act No. 14, 2006, and Section 44 (2)(b) of the 1999 Constitution.
The EFCC's investigation revealed that Emefiele allegedly negotiated kickbacks in exchange for foreign exchange allocations to companies in need of foreign currency for legitimate business purposes. The investigation also uncovered evidence of Shell companies linked to Emefiele, which were used to launder money.
The court directed the EFCC to publish the order in a national newspaper and gave 14 days for anyone with an interest in the funds and assets to appear in court to show cause why they should not be permanently forfeited to the Federal Government. The case has been adjourned to September 5, 2024, for further hearing.
This is the latest in a series of forfeiture orders obtained by the EFCC against Emefiele, who is facing multiple corruption charges. On May 29, the same Federal High Court in Lagos ordered the forfeiture of $1.4 million linked to Emefiele. Previously, on May 23, the EFCC obtained forfeiture orders on $4.7 million, N830 million, and properties linked to Emefiele.

FG urges BBC, others to report accurately.
The Federal government has charged the British Broadcasting Corporation, BBC and other foreign media operators to maintain principle of accuracy, balance and fairness as well as objectivity in their daily reportage on issues concerning Nigeria.
The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, met with a delegation from the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in his office in Abuja, where he emphasized the importance of ethical reporting in Nigeria. He stated that while the Tinubu Administration is committed to upholding freedom of the press and ensuring operators work without hindrance, the government expects media operators to report both positive and negative stories in a fair and balanced manner.
Idris expressed his commitment to every news-gathering organization, saying, "Our commitment is that we want to stay as focused and unbiased and as free as possible." He highlighted the freedom of news organizations to practice their profession without molestation or pressure from the Nigerian government.
The Minister praised the enduring trust and mutual respect between the BBC and the Nigerian audience, a relationship that has remained strong for almost six decades. He emphasized the importance of balanced reporting, noting that while Nigeria faces challenges, it is crucial for international media to provide a complete and nuanced portrayal.
Idris commended the BBC for moving its Hausa Service studio from London to Abuja, which has led to the engagement of about 200 Nigerians working for the BBC across the country. He appealed to the BBC to extend its capacity-building initiatives to private media outlets.
Earlier, the head of the BBC delegation, Mr. Jonathan Munro, expressed his delight with the BBC's reputation in Nigeria. He stated that the BBC has expanded into multimedia platforms in Nigeria, broadcasting in Pidgin, Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba to reach the country's diverse audiences.
Munro described Nigeria as a global power, noting that about 30 million people visit the BBC's news services in Nigeria every week, making Nigeria the third international marketing audience for the BBC after the USA and India. He was accompanied by the Head of West African Languages, Ehizojie Okharadia; Head of News Gathering for Africa, Juliet Njeri; and the Head of BBC Hausa, Aliyu Tanko.
