Federal High Court sitting in Kaduna has ordered the final forfeiture of the sum of 49 million naira to the Federal Government.
The money was intercepted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC Kaduna Zonal Office on March 14th, 2017, at the Kaduna International Airport.
The money, all mint, stashed in five large 150 kg sacks, was intercepted by EFCC operatives, following an intelligence report received by the zone.
The final forfeiture order followed a motion on notice brought by EFCC through prosecution counsel, Joshua Saidi and Onyeka Ekweozor.
In his ruling, Justice S. M. Shuaibu granted EFCC motion for the final forfeiture of the sum, as he dismissed the applicants’ claims.
