The Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the permanent forfeiture of assets worth billions of naira linked to former Acting Accountant General of the Federation, Chukwunyere Anamekwe Nwabuoku.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Justice James Omotosho delivered the ruling on Wednesday after granting an application by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), which sought the confiscation of assets traced to the convicted former AGF.

The court ruled that the properties and funds were proceeds of unlawful activities.

The forfeited assets include shares valued at ₦1.9 billion, cash totalling ₦288.5 million, and a luxury five-bedroom duplex located in Abuja.

Justice Omotosho ordered that all the assets be permanently handed over to the Federal Government.

Nwabuoku was earlier convicted on March 23, 2026, on a nine-count charge involving money laundering and abuse of office.

Following the conviction, the EFCC filed a motion on April 1, 2026, requesting the final confiscation of the identified assets.

Court records showed that the ₦288.5 million cash assets were linked to accounts belonging to several companies, including Temeeo Synergy Concept Limited, Turge Global Investment Limited, Laptev Bridge Limited, and Arrafura Transnational Afro Ltd.

Part of the funds also included ₦220 million reportedly returned by Nwabuoku into the EFCC Recovery Account at the Central Bank of Nigeria.

The court further ordered the seizure of a five-bedroom duplex situated at No. 20 City Gate Estate, Kukwaba, Abuja.

In addition, shares in various companies owned by the former AGF, valued at about ₦1.94 billion as of March 29, 2026, were also forfeited.

Justice Omotosho held that the court was satisfied the assets were derived from unlawful activities, relying on the earlier conviction judgment.

He therefore ruled that all funds, properties, and shares be permanently forfeited to the Federal Government of Nigeria.
