NOK University

A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the final forfeiture of all assets belonging to NOK University, Gwasmyen Water Factory, Gwasmyen E

vent Center, and Gwasmyen International Hotel in Kaduna State. Justice Joyce Abdulmalik gave the final forfeiture order on Friday, June 7, 2024, after listening to arguments in a lawsuit filed by the Economic…vent Center, and Gwasmyen International Hotel in Kaduna State.

The EFCC established that Hassan used proceeds from unlawful activities to build NOK University. The forfeited university assets include the Senate building, ICT building, Faculty of Medicine building, Science Deanery building, two academic buildings, a faculty hall, and other structures.

The burden lies on the accused to justify properties acquired which are disproportionate to his known legitimate earnings. It is in law that forfeitures are hinged on the preponderance of evidence.”
