Supreme Court upholds forfeiture of Emefiele’s assets
The Supreme Court has upheld the final forfeiture of seven landed properties, 2.045 million dollars and share certificates linked to former Central Bank of Nigeria Governor Godwin Emefiele. The ruling restores the assets to the federal government.
In a unanimous judgement on Friday, the apex court overturned an earlier Court of Appeal decision and reinstated the Federal High Court’s ruling, which found that the assets were reasonably suspected to have been acquired through unlawful activities.
The Supreme Court agreed with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission that the trial court’s forfeiture order should stand, bringing the legal dispute over the assets to an end.

Disney is developing a live-action film inspired by its 2009 animated classic ‘The Princess and the Frog’. Reports say Emmy winner Colman Domingo and acclaimed theatre director Robert O’Hara are in talks to write the project.
