Navy’s ex-account chief forfeits millions to EFCC
A retired Rear Admiral has temporarily forfeited N510m to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
Tahir Yusuf was former Director of Navy Accounts, and the monies he fortefited were in accounts domiciled in Zenith Bank and Skye Bank.
The sum, which is in naira, dollars and pounds, totalled N510m.
Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu of a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja granted the interim forfeiture order after a motion was filed by Mrs Elizabeth Alabi on behalf of the EFCC.
The court had in February granted an ex parte motion filed by the commission seeking the freezing of the seven accounts.
The EFCC approached the court again in November for permanent forfeiture of the funds which was allegedly stolen from the Nigerian Navy.
Granting the prayers of the EFCC, the court said that the order be published in a national newspaper and on the website of the commission.
