Alleged Investment Scam: Court Orders Interim Forfeiture of Property, Phones
Justice Babagana Karumi of the Borno State High Court sitting in Maiduguri has ordered the interim forfeiture of a four bedroom flat standing on 50ft x 100ft plot of land.
The judge issued the order following a motion exparte filed by the Maiduguri Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
The forfeited property was attached based on investigation which linked one Udda Hamid Ahmad (a.k.a Imam Dawud) to an allegation that, sometime in 2022 and 2023 the suspect approached Alhaji Ahmadu Idris and informed him that he will buy wheat offal at an affordable price and generate profits.
According to investigation, Idris agreed and sent the sum of N345, 000,000.00 (Three Hundred and Forty Five Million Naira) for the purchase of offal with a promise to share the profit between the two of them.
While moving the application, EFCC counsel Mukhtar Ali Ahmed informed the court that the property is located at Dikecheri Mashamari ward, Jere Local Government, Borno State and suspected to be acquired with the proceeds of crime.
Almed further stated that the application was supported by an eight- paragraph affidavit deposed to by an operative of the EFCC, Maina Muhammad who investigated the case.
According to investigation, the EFCC received a petition written and signed by K.M Haruna on behalf of Idris, who alleged that the suspect misappropriated the sum of N345, 000,000.00 meant for the purchase of offal for his personal use.
Delivering judgment on a motion exparte, Justice Karumi granted the application and ordered the interim forfeiture of the property.
In another development, Justice Jude K. Dagat of the Federal High Court sitting in Maiduguri granted an interim forfeiture order and freezing of accounts belonging to one Muhammad Abubakar (aka Abubakar Muhammad).
The order was made after a motion exparte was moved by the EFCCโs counsel, Ahmed in a twenty- paragraph affidavit and two exhibits in support of the motion that was deposed to by an operative of the EFCC, Suleiman Bawa
The attached items include a Keystone Bank Plc account No: 6044662000 with the name: Muhammad Abubakar, Tecno Camon 40 Pro and iPhone 17 pro max.
Justice Dagat thereafter ordered that the bank account and funds therein and mobile phones be forfeited to the Federal Government pending the investigation of the case

The Comptroller of Nigeria Immigration Service, Gombe State Command , Hassan Aliyu Mohammed has assured the Gombe Zonal Directorate of the Economic and financial Crimes Commission , EFCC, of enhanced collaboration in tackling the menace of economic and financial crimes and other acts of corruption.
He gave this assurance on Wednesday, April 15, 2025 while on a Courtesy Visit to the Gombe Acting Zonal Director of the EFCC, Assistant Commander of the EFCC, ACE1 Austine Adache in his office.
According to the Comptroller, " the Nigeria Immigration Service is charged with the responsibility of managing the Nigerian borders and works with sister agencies to gather and share intelligence on areas of importance. We want to complement your efforts in the fight against graft by assuring your organisation of our readiness to support you in intelligence and information sharing, and capacity development " .
Responding, Adache welcomed the Comptroller and his team on behalf of the Executive Chairman, Mr. Ola Olukoyede and intimated them of Nigeria's recent achievement as a nation. " One of our nation's recent achievements, the delisting of Nigeria from the Grey List of the Financial Action Task Force ( FATF) in October 2025, was as a result of collaborative efforts amongst law enforcement and regulatory agencies.
He added that " synergy is vital to all organisations in achieving their mandates and we in EFCC hold our sister agencies in high regard . We do hope that this synergy on intelligence and information sharing and capacity development would go a long way in the fight against corruption.
