EFCC Moves to Reverse Court Order on Release of 27 Properties Linked to Okwet's Company

The EFCC is taking steps to overturn a Federal High Court judgment in Abuja that directed the release of 27 properties owned by James Ikechukwu Okwet's company, Jamec West Africa Limited. The court had set aside an interim forfeiture order granted to the EFCC in March 2025.

The agency has filed a notice of appeal and seeks to stay the execution of the judgment pending the appeal hearing scheduled for December 1, 2025. Counsel Abba Moham San is representing the EFCC in the appeal process.
