Spokesman of the Commission, Mr Wilson Uwujaren, said in a statement on Tuesday that the property was located on Plot 1076 Cadastral Zone, Sector B 18, Gudu District, Abuja.

The asset, according to him, was recovered in a case between the Federal Government and Emmanuel Ozigi and two others; Home Vestors Concepts Ltd and Knight Consulting Ltd.

“The EFCC secured the final forfeiture of the property to the Federal Government on February 15, 2018, at the conclusion of forfeiture processes in a Federal High Court, Abuja, presided over by Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu.
