The Federal High Court, Abuja on Wednesday, granted rules on an application by the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC) for the forfeiture of some properties and funds in some banks linked to a former governor of Zamfara State, Abdulaziz Yari.
The court, headed by Justice Obiora Egwuatu, ordered the interim forfeiture of the properties, about 10 in number, with some outside Nigeria.
He therefore ruled that owners of the properties and funds have 14 days to show cause why they should not be permanently forfeited to the Federal Government of Nigeria.
