A Lagos Federal High Court has granted a final forfeiture of the $43.4m, £27,800 and N23.2m found in Ikoyi apartment by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to the Federal Government.
Justice Hassan gave the order on Tuesday after the huge funds remained unclaimed.
It would be recalled that following the discovery of the huge sum, the Rivers State government had alleged that it owned the money but never came out to claim ownership.
The State Governor, Nyesom Wike had equally claimed that he had evidence showing that the money belonged to his state and at the right time he will make the evidence public but till date never made it public.
