 Federal High Court in Abuja recently ordered an interim forfeiture of properties belonging to the lawmaker representing Delta North senatorial district, Senator Peter Nwaoboshi.
Justice Taiwo O. Taiwo in the suit number FHC/ABJ/CS/1127/18 ordered an interim forfeiture of 14 properties and 22 bank accounts linked to the senator to the Federal Government of Nigeria.
The case filed by the Special Presidential Investigation Panel for the Recovery of Public Property on behalf of the Federal Government, also placed a post-no-debit order on 22 bank accounts linked to Nwaoboshi.
