Justice Muslim Sule Hassan of a Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos State, Nigeria, has been urged to issue an order of final forfeiture of a sum to the tune of N426.704,820.88 to the Federal Government of Nigeria, FGN, for being proceeds of unlawful act.
The sum is linked to one Brigadier-General John Onimisi Ozigi.
The prayer which came from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, particularly stated that the said sum was allegedly hidden in a company, Diamond Head Ventures and Development Company Limited’s accounts with numbers 1010399694 and 4010007344, domiciled in Polaris Bank and another new generation bank respectively.
It would be recalled that Justice Hassan had on November 7, 2018, made an order of temporary forfeiture of the sum following an application filed and argued for the order by Mr. Nkereuwen Mark Anana.
In asking the court for the final forfeiture of the money, Anana insisted that the order sought for was brought pursuant to section 17 of the Advance Fee Fraud and other related offences Act 14, 2006 and under the inherent jurisdiction of the court.
