Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has seized a total of 324 houses from the Kano State Pension Fund Trustees.
A statement issued by the EFCC Spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, said the seizure followed judgment delivered by Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court, Abuja, which ordered the final forfeiture of the properties to the Commission.
