Press Release
The
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC, has secured an order of the
Federal High Court, Kano
for forfeiture of the properties of one Yagana
Ibrahim Bukar a.k.a Aisha Shettima Noor.
By the order, dated October 3, 2014, the
properties of the accused person which are believed to be proceeds of crime are
to be forfeited to the Federal Government of Nigeria.
The
assets include various sums of money stashed in three different bank accounts,
a Honda Accord car with registration No. BD 496 NSR, a Toyota Matrix Car with
registration No. FGE 122 AE and a Shop with goods situated at Badawa Layout, Kano.
The
forfeiture order followed the refusal of the accused who is being prosecuted on
two separate criminal charges bordering on money laundering, stealing and
obtaining by false pretence, to present herself for trial after she was granted
bail upon arraignment.
Yagana
is alleged to have forged various personal and official documents which she used
in withdrawing huge sums of money from an Azman Oil and Gas Limited account
domiciled with one of the new generation banks in Kano, while being the Account Officer of the
company in 2013.
