The Federal High Court, Abuja, on Thursday, granted the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)’s request to seize landed property and cash of N120, 546, 042.02 and $228, 428.16 allegedly linked to a retired Air Force officer, Saliu Atawodi, and his wife, Winnie.

The judge, Anwuli Chikere, gave the interim forfeiture order in a ruling in an ex-parte motion argued by the EFCC’s Lawyer, Ekele Iheanacho.

The commission also gave details of how the retired Air Force chief allegedly syphoned state’s funds, using his wife, who was a manager with Union Bank of Nigeria Plc between 1982 and 2015. “By a letter dated 12th November, 2010 and signed by the 1st respondent on behalf of PICOMSS, a contract for the sum of $32,337,163.00 was awarded to Xanatos Limited by PICOMSS.

According to EFCC, the Union Bank Plc account of Auswee Investment Ltd was opened in the Maitama Branch of Union Bank whose branch was under the administrative control of the 2nd respondent as the bank’s employee.
