Photos: EFCC secures Interim forfeitures order on abandoned N49m cash no one has come forward to claim

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC, has secured an interim forfeiture order granted by Justice S.M Shuaibu of the Federal High Court Kaduna ordering that the sum of N49m be forfeited to the Federal Government of Nigeria pending the hearing and determination of Motion on Notice filed by the EFCC.


Recall that the large sum of money was intercepted by officials of the antigraft agency at the Kaduna International Airport on March 14th. The money was packed in five large black 150kg colored BUHU sacks.

The order was made pursuant to Section 17 (2) of the Advance Fee Fraud and other Fraud Related offences Act 2006 as there is no individual(s) coming forward to claim the said sum after over 72 hours of getting the intelligence report from the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria FAAN.

Justice Shuaibu also said the suit should be published in any of the national dailies across the country within a reasonable time in order for the EFCC to move a motion for the final forfeiture in case no one or group of persons comes forward for the stated sum. The case is adjourned to 3rd April 2017 for hearing.

  6. Are they trying to say there is no CCTV to know who dropped the cash? Or no one saw the person who brought the bag? If it was checked in by a name? I don't get it. Security agent in this country are failing when it comes to real investigations. They should take a class watching crimes and investigations channel on Dstv. Too much lazy head in d security system.

  9. Am dumb founded how nobody has been apprehended. These our crime fighters are so amateurish in their approach and incompetent in equal measure.
    If u spot something suspicious, the standard approach is to lay surveillance and maintain intelligence without giving anything away and wait for someone to pick-up the luggage.
