The Nigerian Government has secured an interim Forfeiture of 40 properties belonging to embattled senator, Ike Ekweremadu.
An Abuja Federal High Court on Friday has issued the order of interim forfeiture of 10 properties in Enugu, 3 in the United States of America (USA), 9 in Dubai, Two in the United Kingdom (UK), one in Lagos, and 15 located in Abuja.
POLITICS NIGERIA learned that Justice Inyang Ekwo, the trial Judge, gave the order following an ex-parte motion filed and moved by Ibrahim Buba on behalf of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
The Judge also ordered EFCC to publish the interim forfeiture order of the properties in a national daily within seven days from the date the order was given.
Ekweremadu is currently in detention in the United Kingdom over allegations of Human Trafficking and Organ Harvesting.
More to come….
I know Nigerians, instead of blaming the looter or at least ask questions on how he ammased 40 properties siezed, they will start to read stupid political meaning. And we can’t blame people too because Nigerian government is not trustworthy. Even when you think they are doing the normal thing at least from the surface, there is serious political vendetta underneath. Theqquestion is why is the EFCC coming out now? There are bigger lotters but uf they can wear APC garb, they are secure
This case has been on for a long time. He was dodging prosecutio. One other of his co looters will be next. That one is a well known master Dodger. Any body who stole must be dealt with whether politics is behind it or not. Nigeria is the only place the victim of robbery is sympathetic to the robber. These property belong to every Nigerian. We should account for them or lose them
If things are bigining to happens like this in Nigeria its could have been a better place. Currency changing, explanation of wealthier things you have and how you managed to get them.
Nawaoo for Nigerians & their insatiable characters & madness for wealth but at last it all end up in 6ft in d ground
Vanity upon vanity all is vanity. Yet over 200 million Nigerians suffering in abject poverty.
WHAT ARE WE TO MAKE OF THIS ?. A MAN IS DOWN, WE ARE GOING TO BE KICKING HIM STILL, IN THE GUTS?. WHAT EXACTLY IS THE PURPOSE OF GATHERING SO MUCH MATERIAL WEALTH ?. WHEN, ULTIMATELY, WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE BURIED WITH A FLUFF OF DUST?. GOD ALMIGHTY, HELP US TO HAVE THE HEART OF GIVING.
You are not concerned about how he got those said properties, all you could say is to pity for the man that is down already, if i may ask is it Nigeria that arrested him?. If your mindset does not change i pity your future.
Being rich is from God that’s why he made Solomon the riches king during his time, even after blessing Jacob he still stole dome sheep from Laban his father I law did zny one of them went to grave with it? The answer is no. But striving to be rich legitimately is approved by the good lord almighty
All of them both government and him are criminals they put this country in a coma.they will pay for it.judei
And some gullible ones whether HAUSA IGBO YORUBA are still supporting them to continue to inflict more pain on the people of Nigeria
Nigeria is the only country where you loot and stay in the governing party and you are safe. Tell me who is more corrupt than jagaban of Lagos and Atiku Abubakar? May God help us.
Excellent news gathering.
Excellent verification and coverage
May God help this country oooh
Our politicians are wickedly wicked.
Pls what is someone doing with 40 properties that he will die and leave? It’s really madness and greed, may God deliver us from this spirit. We came into this world with nothing, we own nothing in this world, everything we have is temporary comfort, after using it in our time we will go and leave it for others to come and use, pls borrow wisdom from God, it’s madness
There is nothing wrong in him having properties in several locations. The only problem is that they looted our national treasury to amase such wealth.
It’s not just 40,, 40 is only about the ones siezed there could be a hundred more.
At last vanity upon vanity
What are the fleet of properties for? In a country some people are sleeping at the under bridge, One individual has 40 buildings scattered across the world? With which money did he acquire those things from? God is the judge.
This have become norm in Nigeria. Select one thousand (1000) people randomly; more than 90% fall within the bracket of this attitude of wealth accumulation. Then, who is fooling who
In deed, there was a country! This is a country where almost everyone strives to be elected so that he or she can loot. He has 40 properties! Some politician do have more than 40!! These guys have messed this country up! Truly,I wonder what the hope of a common man is! There are still many like this politician in the government now!!!
If this is true it means the Nigeria government does not even sympathize with Ekweremadu over his demise. A man whose first daughter is in dailises and you don’t Pity him just because he is from the opposition party. If the man is from APC would you have done this. This is evil.
Learn to talk Sense,evil is evil
Big man big trouble
Nemesis has finally caught up with him.. What ever a man sow, he will reap. After acquiring 40 property the world over, he still not satisfied. He still went for organ harvest. The Rich Also Cry. A Food For Thought
This is pure madness, how many houses can you sleep in at a time even in a single house , you can only sleep in one room
Distinguished Senator. You are doing well, sir. More tenure elongation so that you continue your effective representation!
Properties acquired with Nigerians stolen
money. Only him 40 buildings. Many such peolpe abound in Nigeria. God will judge and
expose all of them one after another.
The evil that men do lives with them these days. A man who destroys his father’s house and runs to their neighbors house will soon be pursued out by the same neighbor
Only him have all this properties, perhaps good people of Enugu are starving and living in abject porverty. Though both the government and Ekweremadu are the same set of people.
Please Nigerians let’s vote wisely come 2023, Nigeria is Rich very Rich, it’s the so called leaders that are sucking our economy dry. Forget that Mr A is my brother or Mr B is my religion. Vote because you want the progress of our dear Nation. Am a soldier of this great Nation, we are passing through a lot to keep the national flag flying, there’s rapid inflation still the income remains static,
I believe in one Nigeria.
Let’s join our hands to make Nigeria a better place for all of us and our generation to come.
God bless the federal republic of Nigeria.
Yes
Nigeria is the only country where you loot and stay in the governing party and you are safe. Tell me who is more corrupt than jagaban of Lagos and Atiku Abubakar? May God help us.
Bro this attempt have been made by EFCC before and he went for court injuction order against it.
My question is what is one man doing with 40 houses scattered all over the world?
A time like this will always come for any tribe or group of fools serving fulani & betrayin his own people, keep dancin the music Ike Ekweremadu as others like Asari, Eastern gov…. will soon join in the buhahahaga dance
Pity a thief? Oga na wa for you. Does the money he stole not belong to you as a Nigerian? You dey pity person wey thief your money
For me, justice be met with Mercy.
I also hope this serves as lesson to current looters who are yet to be caught.
Hmm! Dilapidated schools, underfunded universities, poorly facilitated hospitals, poor wages, unemployment. Yet 40 properties one person… This is even one of the many cases undiscovered. What a country to come from!
I pledge to Nigeria my country!
To be faithful, loyal and honest!
Is it “To SERVE” or “To DESTROY” Nigeria with all my strength?
Lord have mercy!
See how God destroyed you because your wickedness, and selfishness. You’re not a blessing to humanity at all.
It’s over ekweremadu
Heart of Man is truly pure evils if not why acquiring many properties while your people are languishing in abject poverty? He will not be buried inside any this property. God help us with our taste for wealth
Until Nigeria runs a welfare economy,where the state cares for the citizens with the enormous resources Nigeria has,looting will continue.The senators know the right things to do,to turn things around but have become rubber stamp and ineffective.
With all this accumulation of wealth, we still have thousands of poor people in your village. EFCC keep on going after innocent Nigeria Youths who are just trying to making their parents smile through internet frud since our government never care for their parents talk more of paying their pensioner parents.
Wicked government that has no plans for the Youth
Kai, nigeria, this very man it seems; he has touched a lions tail, and the lion is after him. Many looters are still here with no eye of efcc on them.
I pray efcc get them too.
EFCC and ICPC are deceitful organizations that go against only perceived enemies of government. In the past seven and a half years of Buhari’s tenor, we have not heard any serious action of any of the corruption watch dogs. And you will recall that Buhari’s administration is the most corrupt in the history of Nigeria. Is Ekweremandu the only corrupt Nigerian? Certainly not. What happens to other Nigerian leaders? And why the hunt now, at this eleventh hour
40 property well am not impress how can we stop this act we can’t because it’s political influence everyone of them are very greedy
