The Federal High Court in Lagos has ordered that a vessel, MV Shirley, should be forfeited to the Federal Government for being used for illegal conveyance of 145,000 litres of petroleum products.

MV Shirley was convicted of four counts alongside a firm, Sagwe International Limited, and one Abednego Ogede, who was said to be at large.

The judge said MV Shirley along with the 145,000 litres of petroleum product found on it should be forfeited to the Federal Government. The judge ordered the forfeiture of the N10m bail bond deposited by Ogede’s surety, saying the surety should be remanded in the prison custody pending the forfeiture of the N10m.

The prosecuting counsel for the EFCC, Mr Rotimi Oyedepo, said the convicts committed the offence on or about April 19, 2017.
