A five story building belonging to former Chief of Defence Staff, late Alex Badeh has been handed over to the management of Voice of Nigeria (VON).
The building located on Plot 1386; Oda Crescent, Off Aminu Kano Crescent, Wuse II, Abuja was handed over to VON by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), on Wednesday, July 17.
The EFCC took possession of the building following a permanent forfeiture order by a court.
While handing over the property, the EFCC said the building will become the corporate headquarters of VON; which until now, was squatting in its ‘parent’s house’; the ministry of information, popularly known as Radio House.
The secretary to the commission, Ola Olukoyede, who represented the chairman of EFCC, Ibrahim Magu; said that the property was recovered from a “fraudulent Nigerian” who had stolen from the commonwealth.
Olukoyede said EFCC has been able to go after him and recovered this property and President Muhammadu Buhari had directed it should be given to federal government agency.
According to Olukoyede, the final forfeiture of the building is a testament that whosoever has stolen the commonwealth of Nigeria; EFCC will go after them and we will recover the property for the use of all Nigerians.”
