The 2023 Presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, Omoyele Sowore, has stated that the 753 duplexes forfeited by an Abuja High Court belongs to former CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele.

He disclosed this in a statement on X on Monday, while reacting to the forfeiture of the estates.

Sowore stated that Emefiele had built the estate and more with kickbacks, and questioned the reason behind the cover up of identity by the EFCC.

He stated, “I just heard from the grapevine that the 753 duplexes forfeited by an FCT Court in Apo belong to Muhammadu @MBuhari’s CBN Gov. Godwin @GodwinIEmefiele !

“He reportedly built this estate and more with kickbacks. But the question is why @officialEFCC opted to cover up his identity.”

Recall that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, had disclosed that it made its single largest asset recovery since inception.

The Commission, in a statement on Monday, disclosed that it recovered the estate which measures 150,500 square metres and contains 753 duplexes and apartments, and given back to the federal government.

It however, concealed the name of the culprit, stating that it belonged to a former top brass of the government.
