EFCC links Emefiele to 750 houses, 94 luxury flats, properties worth over ₦100bn

An EFCC investigator has alleged that former CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele acquired multibillion-naira properties through proxies, including approximately 750 houses in Abuja and 94 luxury flats, as his corruption trial continues in Lagos.

An Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) investigator has alleged that former Central Bank of Nigeria Governor Godwin Emefiele acquired multibillion-naira properties through proxies while in office.

According to PM News, investigator Alvan Gurumnaan testified before an Ikeja Special Offences Court on Thursday, detailing assets allegedly linked to Emefiele.

The properties include approximately 750 houses in Abuja, 94 luxury flats, mansions in Ikoyi, duplexes in Lekki and properties in Ogun and Delta states.

Gurumnaan also alleged that investigators recovered over $2 million from lawyer Ifeanyi Omeke, who reportedly acted as Emefiele’s proxy.

“We recovered a set of twin duplexes in Lekki Phase 1 and also two mansions on Queens Drive, Ikoyi, Lagos.”

He claimed that assets worth over N100 billion had been forfeited following court judgments.

Emefiele faces 19 corruption-related charges, while co-defendant Henry Omoile faces three counts.

Justice Rahman Oshodi overruled defence objections to the testimony and adjourned proceedings until November 13.
