The Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the final forfeiture of N3.44 billion and three properties linked to a former official of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Salihu Nuhu Jamari.
The order was granted on Tuesday by Justice J.O. Abdulmalik following a motion filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) through its counsel, Ekele Iheanacho, SAN.
The forfeited assets include an uncompleted six-bedroom semi-detached duplex with boys’ quarters located in Asokoro, Abuja, a two-bedroom apartment in Osborne II, Ikoyi, Lagos, and a restaurant in Lokogoma District, Abuja.
The court had earlier issued an interim forfeiture order on February 25, 2026, and directed the EFCC to publish the notice in a national newspaper to allow any interested parties to show cause why the assets should not be permanently forfeited. With no valid objections raised, the court granted the final forfeiture.
According to the EFCC, the funds, properties are linked to alleged conspiracy, bribery, kickbacks, and money laundering involving staff and contractors.
