Joe Igbokwe, a chieftain of the All Progressive Congress (APC) has revealed the identity of the owner of the Abuja estate seized by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

According to Igbokwe, the estate with 753 duplexes is linked to Godwin Emefiele, the former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

Igbokwe’s reaction which was published on Facebook follows the revelation by the EFCC earlier on Monday, December 2 that it had recorded the largest single-asset recovery since its establishment in 2003.

The anti-graft agency revealed that Justice Jude Onwuegbuzie had issued a ruling for the final forfeiture of an estate located on Plot 109, Cadastral Zone C09, Lokogoma District, Abuja.

According to the agency, the estate measures 150,500 square metres and contains 753 Units of duplexes and other apartments.

Justice Onwuegbuzie of the Federal High Court in Abuja ordered that the property should be forfeited to the federal government.

Although the EFCC has not mentioned the identity of the estate’s owner, the anti-graft agency has probed the former governor of the apex bank and has secured several court judgments to take over the ownership of his properties.
