Moroophat Obanikoro, the wife of a former minister of state for defence
Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, has forfeited her multi-million naira property to
the federal government pending the outcome of EFCC investigations into her
husband and children.
Sahara Reporters writes that a Federal Capital Territory High
Court sitting in Jabi, Abuja ordered the forfeiture and also rejected a prayer
asking the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to pay her the sum
of N200m for violating her fundamental human rights. read more
She said the EFCC had no right to punish her for any crime allegedly
committed by her husband and urged the court to award her N200m.
In his ruling, the Justice Y. Halilu said he could not stop the EFCC
from doing its work.
