BREAKING: Former Central Bank Governor Emefiele Is Nigerian 'Top Brass' Who Owns 753 Duplexes In Abuja Estate Forfeited To EFCC

A former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, [b]Godwin Emefiele, owns the large estate in Abuja with 753 duplexes forfeited to the Nigerian government through the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), in a court ruling on Monday.

Human rights activist and convener of #RevolutionNow Movement, Omoyele Sowore, confirmed the development in a post on social media.

Emefiele is standing trial on several charges bordering on corruption, including in the new naira redesign before the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, High Court in Maitama, Abuja.

Justice Maryann Anenih had adjourned the matter till December 4, 2024, and January 21, 2025 for continuation of trial.

Sowore had earlier blasted the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), for refusing to name the former Nigerian “top brass” who owned the large estate in Abuja with 753 duplexes.

Sowore, former presidential candidate for the African Action Congress (AAC) in the 2023 general elections, had noted on Monday that the EFFC is now afraid of big thieves and has become their public relations officer.

In an update, the human rights activist said, "I just heard from the grapevine that the 753 duplexes forfeited by an FCT court in Apo belong to Muhammadu Buhari's CBN gov, Godwin Emefiele."

SaharaReporters earlier reported that Justice Jude Onwuegbuzie, on Monday, ordered the final forfeiture of an estate in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, measuring 150,500 square metres and containing 753 Units of duplexes and other apartments.

The EFCC said in a release that this was the single largest asset recovery by the Commission since its inception in 2003.

The estate rests on Plot 109 Cadastral Zone C09, Lokogoma District, Abuja.

According to Sowore, the same EFCC which deliberately refused to name the seized 753 duplexes Abuja estate boldly and without commencement of court trial, published names and photos of yahoo boys with proud display of laptops and small Nokia phones.

Sowore, who said this in a post on his verified social media wrote, “What is the name of the "former top brass" with 753 duplexes seized by the EFCC in Abuja?

“The @officialEFCC is now doing PR for thieves. They seized this large estate with 753 duplexes from a single individual in Abuja but can't mention his or her name.

“If it is Yahoo boys, they will line laptops and Nokia phones in front of them and send their photos globally even before their trial is commenced. The same EFCC is now AFRAID of BIG Thieves!”

In another post, Sowore wrote, “They have told you every day since the days of the Structural Adjustment Program of IBB and Co. that the government has no business building houses for citizens, but a "TOP Brass" stole from citizens and built 753 duplexes for himself.”

"The forfeiture of the property to the federal government by a former top brass of the government was pursuant to EFCC’s mandate and policy directive of ensuring that the corrupt and fraudulent do not enjoy the proceeds of their unlawful activities.

"In this instance, the Commission relied on Section 17 of the Advance Fee Fraud And Other Fraud Related Offences Act No 14, 2006 and Section 44 (2) B of the Constitution of the 199 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to push its case," the EFCC had said.

Ruling on the Commission’s application for the final forfeiture of the property, Justice Onwuegbuzie held that the respondent have not shown cause as to why he should not lose the property, “which has been reasonably suspected to have been acquired with proceeds of unlawful activities, the property is hereby finally forfeited to the federal government.”

Super looter.....its like he was printing cash for himself.

And he wont still be sentenced to death, na those whose T-pain economic reforms have turn3d to fowl thieves one stupid judge wil sentence to death.
Emefiele should be hanged or his body shld be cut into pieces at market square

COMRADES, and the hediot called Buhari told Nigerians personally that he fought corruption to the core, look at how leakages are being exposed everyday. Well, can we have such exposure of corruption cases after the tenure of Tinubu? Or, is Tinubu running a government of theocracy?
If I may ask, why EFCC refused to disclose the identity of the thief until we have to hear it from the grapevine?

Omor,, this man swallow ego well well oh.. kai

This man deserves to rot in jail. I'm just dumbfounded

greedy mofos
,,753 duplexes for what kwanu?
They steal without conscience.

And efcc is going after small thieves.
The property will still be relooted.

All I can say is "omo!"

Hmmm. One person property
Den don milk this country dry

Imagine how much is the cost, that should be running in trillion.


There's something evilly wrong with a black man.

Concealing the identity of the such a ridiculous thief shows Nigeria government don't considered stealing billions/trillion by politicians and elites as serious crime.

these are the SATAN dwelling amongst us

There's no SATAN in any HELL 😭

Imagine due to his selfish gains, he allowed thousands to perish during cash scarcity

Pictorial image of how Emeifiele hunted the currency!!

Hunted for it like there was no tomorrow..!!

The agency EFCC is managed by thieves already. What have they been doing with all the recovered loots, is it not to reloot the loot? Aluta continua

I struggle to dislike one than the other, Emefiele and Nnamdi Kanu..

753 houses ?
That means he owns a city to himsf be that na?

But why are people this fraudulent?

But he will still be chilling in the VIP section of the prison.

Don't worry maybe when they confiscate everything and there is no money to settle people then he will go to general wing

753 Duplexes?
Who needs all that?
Indeed something is wrong with the Black Man.

The man just dey print and steal the Nigerian money under Buhari, this country has been so drained

753 duplexes!!!! Ah!

Interesting

Sowore will do worst if given the chance

thank you SOWORE. the stealing is too much
they should disband the EFCC for hiding big thieves names

Honestly speaking, these people are heartless

With this kind of news one would wonder when can we be free from these kleptomaniacs?

The sad part is that some of us reading this are aspiring to loot theirs if given the opportunity.

If truly elemiwere owns those duplex, that guy should be given the worst maltreatment ever meted to a homosapien

This is serious. Each of those houses is worth close to a billion naira. A single person stole that amount? It's only God that can deliver Nigeria from Nigerians.

This is to some IPOB fools ing emefiele.
