Court Orders Permanent Forfeiture of $49,700 in Corruption Case
The Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the permanent forfeiture of $49,700 recovered from Dr. Nura Ali, a former Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) of INEC in Sokoto State during the 2023 general election. The judgment was delivered by Justice Emeka Nwite following a motion filed by the ICPC over corruption-related offenses.
The ICPC had alleged that the money was unlawfully obtained, with Dr. Ali admitting to receiving $150,000 from former Sokoto Governor Aminu Tambuwal. The court also directed the ICPC and DSS to deposit the seized funds in an escrow account at the CBN.
