Erastus Akingbola's London home sold for £5.7million

Embattled banker and former Managing Director of the now defunct Intercontinental Bank, Erastus Akingbola's London home has been sold by the UK government for £5.7million pounds, which is about N1.5billion. 
 
A UK Judge, Justice Michael Burton of the Royal Courts of Justice, London, had on July 31 2012, found Erastus Akingbola guilty of theft and fraud of monies totaling £654million and ordered that his London home be sold as part of the properties he is to forfeit having been found guilty.
 
Mr Akingbola is also standing trial for Financial Crimes here in Nigeria. He is accused by the EFCC of stealing N47billion depositors funds from Intercontinental Bank.

      I don't know why some folks will have to relate everything with tribalism. Its people like you who have caused division among nigerians and backwardness for our nation. Get it straight whatever ur name is: there are only two kinds of people in the world:- the "Good" and the "Bad." Say whatever you like, its ur biz!!

    All you fools shouting "yoruba", God damn y'all. The content of a man's character is independent of ethnicity or race. Only nepotic douchebags like you will attribute his case to a tribe. Have you forgotten Barth Ebong(Ex-UnionBank MD)? Is he yoruba? Is Cecilia Ibru a yoruba woman too? Y'all r scum-eating fools and I see why you r retarded!

      Respect 2 my learned Igbo friends,evn Jesus had a Judas n sometimes a few faggots might not b enof reason 2 make a template of d character of d majority.
      It's in dis country that wn a man is successful,evry1 claims it n saliently envies him bt if in d news 4 d wrong reasons,dats when ppl starts dissociating themselves by pointin out dat he's of anoda ethnic group.lol

    And now that the house has been sold, will the British government return the money? The western government is part of the problems African countries has. They support looting and allow these thieves to invest with embezzled funds in their country. As for corrupt leaders and politicians, do you all think it ends only in Yobe or Bornuo? It will spread but unfortunately the innocent ones will die. Sanusi and co should return the money they stole from this country, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH !!!!!!!

We can never make a meaningful impact if we still attacking the yoruba man bcos ure igbo or hausa & leaving d subject matter which is wat we shld be most concerned about.Anyways Mr Festus,u serve as a scapegoat to d remaining of ur contemporaries who steals govt.funds 4 deir selfish interest.I rest my case

D Judiciary encourage dis common criminals who re entrusted 2 run d affairs of d economy 2 steal & loot our economy knowingly fully well dat der criminal minded colleagues in d Judiciary will use der office 2 frustrate d long arm of d law from gettihg Justice. Look all d cases of stealing & looting brought 2 public know non of dem ve bin convicted even when it is very glaring, with intimidating evidence. Wat d Nigeria Judiciary is failing 2 do der counterpart in Britain is helping dem 2 do it. Wat a SHAME. First Ibori now Akingbola.
