The process to formally take over some known assets of convicted former governor of Plateau State, Joshua Dariye has been initiated by the Federal Government.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) made the application to the Federal High Court in Abuja for an order of final forfeiture in that regard.
One of such assets belonging to Dariye at Plot 1802 A04, No: 19 Fredrick Chiluba Close, Asokoro, Abuja, was identified by EFCC in the application filed by a lawyer in the team that prosecuted Dariye, Oluwaleke Atolagbe.
According to the EFCC, the court had, in the course of Dariye’s trial, granted the government’s request for an interim forfeiture of the assets pending the conclusion of the trial.
EFCC explained that since the trial had been concluded and Dariye jailed for criminal breach of trust and dishonest conversion of about N1.2billion belonging to Plateau State, it was proper that the court order the final forfeiture of the convict’s known assets.
