Justice Mohammed Liman of the Federal High Court in Lagos has set aside its interim forfeiture order made against the properties of former Senate President Bukola Saraki, located at 17 and 17A MacDonald Road, Ikoyi, Lagos.
Justice Liman held that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) failed to prove that the monies used to purchase the property were from the Kwara State government house account.
The anti-graft agency had sought to forfeit both properties to the Federal Government, on the allegation that they were acquired with funds Saraki diverted while he was Kwara State governor.
It obtained an interim forfeiture order for the properties on October 21, 2019.

Researchers in Switzerland have launched a training trial to see if sniffer dogs can find out people infected with COVID-19, media reports said on Wednesday.
Three dogs are being trained by researchers from Geneva University Hospitals (HUG) for four weeks by exposing to samples of sick and healthy people.
The dogs will thereafter go through a sweat-sniffing test to see if they can identify infected individuals, said the hospitals in an online statement.
If successful, “the use of dogs for screening for COVID-19 could be considered in Switzerland,” said the statement.
The study, as a collaboration between HUG, the largest university hospital in Switzerland, and the Swiss Army and United Nations Department of Safety and Security, is expected to have a final result in March.

This, after information reached Del Rosario that some persons have been impersonating him for this “shameless” purpose.
Reports said that last Tuesday, March 2, a call was received by Cloudify Web Solutions Inc., a biometrics system supplier, from a certain agent. The agent then passed the phone to another individual, who introduced himself as Usec. Del Rosario.
The private supplier immediately informed and verified with the OTS the legitimacy of the call.
Del Rosario says that, as the approving authority for OTS projects, his job is to conscientiously approve proposals of his subordinates, and not deal with private companies to prevent the risk of bribery and corruption.
