The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says the Federal High Court sitting in Lagos has ordered the final forfeiture of N178,966,938, multiple landed properties and vehicles linked to unlawful activities to the Federal Government.
The Commission disclosed this in a statement issued by its Head, Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale.
According to the EFCC, the order was granted by Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke on Monday following a motion on notice filed by its Lagos Zonal Directorate 1 in Suit No. FHC/L/MISC/1311/2025.
The anti-graft agency said the court had earlier ordered an interim forfeiture and directed publication in a national newspaper for any interested party to show cause why the assets should not be permanently forfeited.
Moving the application for final forfeiture, EFCC counsel Zeenat Atiku told the court that an affidavit deposed to by operative Isah Yusuf Nadabo showed the funds and properties were traced to Stanley Akaria Chinemerem and were reasonably suspected to be proceeds of unlawful activities.
Among the forfeited assets is a fully detached six-bedroom duplex built on approximately 722.332 square metres at Nnabuenyi Street, within Onigbanko Royal Family Land, Abule Oshun, Amuwo Odofin Local Government Area of Lagos State.
The court also ordered forfeiture of two undeveloped parcels of land located at Onireke Town opposite Ojo Barracks in Amuwo Odofin LGA measuring 667.070 square metres and one plot measuring 60ft by 120ft.
Also forfeited were a black 2012 Toyota Highlander Jeep with registration number LND 401JC and a red 2018 Toyota Venza with plate number FCT 998 JX.
The EFCC explained that the interim forfeiture order granted on December 12, 2025 was published in a national newspaper on January 8, 2026 and the respondent was personally served but no party contested the order.
Justice Aneke thereafter held that the application had merit and ordered the final forfeiture of the assets to the Federal Government of Nigeria.
