EFCC secure forfeiture order for recovered N49m cash

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has secured n interim forfeiture order for the sum of Forty Nine Million Naira (N49,000,000) be forfeited to the Federal Government.

The court said the order will be pending the hearing and determination of Motion on Notice filed by the EFCC.

The order was made after no one claimed the cash after 72 hours when it was seized.

Justice Shuaibu also said the suit should be published in any of the national dailies across the country within a reasonable time.

He said this is to ensure that the EFCC can move a motion for the final forfeiture in case no one or group of persons comes forward for the stated sum.

He later adjourned the case to 3rd April 2017 for hearing.

Recall that the sum of N49 million was intercepted by the operatives of the Commission as the huge amount was being ferried out through the airport.
