Court orders interim forfeiture of 48 properties linked to ex-NSITF chairman
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that a Federal High Court in Abuja ordered the interim forfeiture of 48 properties allegedly owned by Olejeme.
Justice Taiwo Taiwo granted the forfeiture order in 2020 after the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) counsel's Ekele Iheanacho, was able to convince the court that the properties spread across five states including the FCT, Bayelsa, Enugu, Edo, and Delta were bought with proceeds of unlawful activities.
