A Nigerian judge on Thursday ordered the seizure of a flat linked
to
the former head of the country’s National Intelligence Agency, after
more than $43 million in cash was found during an anti-corruption raid.
Judge Saliu Seidu, sitting at the Federal High Court in Lagos, said
the apartment in the upmarket Ikoyi area of the city should be
temporarily forfeited to the government, pending any challenge within 14
days.
Acting on a tip-off, agents from Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission raided the property on April 12 this year and discovered just
under $43.5 million (37.4 million euros, £33.1 million).
