The Federal High Court, Kano, has granted an order to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, for forfeiture of the properties of one Yagana Ibrahim BukarĀ also known as Aisha Shettima Noor.
Yagana is alleged to have forged various personal and official documents, which she used in withdrawing huge sums of money from an Azman Oil and Gas limited account domiciled with one of the new generation banks in Kano during her stint as account officer of the company in 2013.
A statement by the Head, Media and Publicity of the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren on Thursday, said by the order, which was dated October 3, 2014, the properties of the accused person believed to be proceeds of crime, are to be forfeited to the Federal Government of Nigeria.
According to the statement, āThe assets include various sums of money stashed in three different bank accounts, a Honda Accord car with registration No. BD 496 NSR, a Toyota Matrix Car with registration No. FGE 122 AE and a Shop with goods situated at Badawa Layout, Kanoā.
Uwujaren said the forfeiture order followed the refusal of the accused, who is being prosecuted on two separate criminal charges bordering on money laundering, stealing and obtaining by false pretence, to present herself for trial after she was released on bail following her arraignment.
