A federal High Court, Lagos has granted the application for final forfeiture of $40million worth of jewelry allegedly belonging to former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Allison-Madueke.
“I am of the view that the respondent failed to show cause why the property should not be forfeited, therefore I am granting the application,” the judge stated. However, counsel to the respondent, Nnamdi Awa-Kalu, filed a motion on notice praying for the setting aside of the order. He equally submitted that “ it is an unlawful activity for a public officer to receive gifts as a result of what was done or not done.”
