Court Orders EFCC to Release 27 Seized Houses in Ownership Dispute
In a legal battle marked by a judgment in the Federal High Court in Abuja, Justice Joyc Abdulmalik ordered the EFCC to release 27 properties wrongly seized under an interim forfeiture order. The case involved ownership claims by James Ikechukwu Okwet's company, Jamec West African Limited, and Adebukunola Iyabod Oladapo.
The court dismissed EFCC's application for final forfeiture, upholding the objections raised by the property owners. The judgment highlighted the lack of merit in EFCC's case and recognized the legitimate interests of the property owners.
