The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has secured an order
of the Federal High Court, Kano for forfeiture of the properties of
one Yagana Ibrahim Bukar a.k.a Aisha Shettima Noor.
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 on two separate criminal charges bordering on money
laundering, stealing and obtaining by false pretence, to present herself
for trial after she was granted bail upon arraignment.
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.
