Benue State High Court, Makurdi, presided over by Justice Sampson Itodo, has ordered the interim forfeiture of a three-bedroom bungalow and a Honda C50 with registration No. GBK 283 US allegedly belonging to a man, Emmanuel Agana James.

The properties, according to a statement by Zonal Head of Public Affairs of the Commission, Iwayinma Okeanu, are said to be proceeds of some unlawful activities derived from funds fraudulently diverted from the sales of food stuff of Rikadawa Foods Nigeria Limited into the personal accounts of James.

 

The order followed an ex-parte application by the Makurdi Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The commission’s counsel, G. G. Chia-Yakua, in an application dated March 31, 2020, had prayed the court for an interim order forfeiting to the Federal Government of Nigeria the threebedroom uncompleted bungalow situated on a plot of land with an area measuring 470.421m2 and a scale of 1:500 at plot 3090 Genabe Mega Layout Phase (II), Apir, Makurdi.

Also included in the forfeiture order is a blue colour Honda motorcycle C50 with registration number GBK 283 US, engine number C50E-0075597 and chassis number C50-0075192.
