This is not a good time for retired Air Force Chief, Air Vice Marshal Saliu Atawodi and his wife, Winnie, as court has ordered the final forfeiture of a property and cash, suspected proceeds of crime linked to them.
This order was given by Justice Emeka Anwuli Chikere of a Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday.
The property measuring about 57933.69 square metres, controlled by Vector Integrated Services Limited, is located at No 3004 Cadastral Zone E05, Aviation Village District in Nigeria’s capital, Abuja.
The cash recovered are $228,428 and N120, 546,042.02. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) prosecuted Atawodi.
