The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Thursday attached a property suspected to belong to a former Governor of Delta State, Chief James Ibori, who is serving a jail term in a United Kingdom prison.
The property, situated at 5, Alpha Beach Road, Lekki, Lagos, is suspected to be one of the proceeds of money laundering for which the ex-governor was convicted in the UK.
The attachment of the property is the fall out of continued efforts by the anti-graft agency to trace, find and seize properties that were suspected to have been acquired with stolen funds by Ibori.
The property is a mansion with a mini reception at the ground floor and a detached Boys Quarters.
Two occupants of the house, Moses Abu and Kaycee Kasim, were interrogated and were reported to have made useful statements.
