The Federal High Court, Kano, has ordered one Yagana Ibrahim Bukar a.k.a Aisha Shettima Noor, to forfeit property and various sums of money in different banks to the federal Government.
By the order, dated October 3, 2014, the properties of the accused person which are believed to be proceeds of crime are to be forfeited to the Federal Government of Nigeria.
The assets include various sums of money stashed in three different bank accounts, a Honda Accord car with registration No. BD 496 NSR, a Toyota Matrix Car with registration No. FGE 122 AE and a Shop with goods situated at Badawa Layout, Kano.
The forfeiture order followed the refusal of the accused who is being prosecuted by the Economic and Financial crimes Commission (EFCC) on two separate criminal charges bordering on money laundering, stealing and obtaining by false pretence among others, to present herself for trial after she was granted bail.
Yagana is alleged to have forged various personal and official documents which she used in withdrawing huge sums of money from an Azman Oil and Gas Limited account domiciled with one of the new generation banks in Kano, while being the Account Officer of the company in 2013.
