Diezani lose 56 houses lagos port harcourt
You're referring to the recent news about Diezani Alison-Madueke, the former Minister of Petroleum Resources in Nigeria.
According to reports, a Federal High Court in Lagos has ordered the forfeiture of 56 houses and other assets linked to Diezani Alison-Madueke to the Nigerian government. The properties are located in Lagos and Port Harcourt.
The court made the order following an application by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), which alleged that Diezani and others had acquired the properties with proceeds of corruption.
The EFCC had earlier seized the properties, but the court's order formalizes the forfeiture, which means that Diezani and her co-accused will no longer have any claim to the properties.
This is a significant development in the ongoing anti-corruption efforts in Nigeria, and it sends a strong message that those who engage in corrupt practices will be held accountable.
It's worth noting that Diezani is currently facing trial in the United Kingdom on charges of money laundering and other financial crimes. The Nigerian government has also been pursuing her for alleged corruption and money laundering offenses.
Overall, the forfeiture of these properties is a major blow to Diezani and her associates, and it demonstrates the government's commitment to recovering stolen assets and holding corrupt officials accountable.
