According to him, the aircraft was forfeited through the commission’s non-conviction-based asset forfeiture process and has since been added to Nigeria’s presidential air fleet.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has forfeited an aircraft allegedly linked to a member of a monitoring committee for a power project in Nigeria who was found to have allegedly collected a $30 million bribe, EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede has said.
Olukoyede disclosed this on Wednesday while speaking at the Cambridge International Symposium on Economic Crime in the United Kingdom.
According to him, the aircraft was forfeited through the commission’s non-conviction-based asset forfeiture process and has since been added to Nigeria’s presidential air fleet.
“This aircraft was forfeited by someone who was supposed to be a member of monetary committee of a power project in Nigeria. We discovered he collected a bribe of about $30 million in Nigeria,” Olukoyede said.
