The move by former minister, Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke to recover her seized assets has failed.

According to Punch Metro, the Federal High Court in Lagos on
Tuesday ordered the permanent forfeiture of the 2,149 pieces of
jewellery and a customised gold iPhone, valued at $40m, recovered from
the Abuja home of a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs Diezani
Alison-Madueke.
In a ruling on Tuesday, Justice Nicholas Nicholas Oweibo held that Diezani, through her lawyer, Awa Kalu (SAN), failed to show cause why the items should not be permanently forfeited to the Federal Government. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission had told the judge that the jewellery and iPhone were reasonably suspected to be acquired with fraud proceeds. The anti-graft agency said the items were beyond Diezani’s legitimate earnings. |
