Kwara gov aide to forfeit two tractors to EFCC

Following a petition by SEAP, the Ilorin Zonal Directorate of the EFCC headed to court and secured final forfeiture of two tractors and two tricycles from Mr. Oyin-Zubair.

EFCC operatives recovered the items from a warehouse along Fate Road in Ilorin and secured an interim forfeiture order in November 2024.

Despite legal opposition from Oyin-Zubair’s counsel, the commission’s counsel, Mustapha Kaigama, presented compelling evidence showing that the assets were purchased with proceeds of unlawful activity.

The presiding judge, Justice Haleema Saleeman, in her ruling on Thursday in Ilorin, dismissed an application filed by Oyin-Zubair seeking to set aside an earlier interim forfeiture order on the grounds that it was obtained through misrepresentation.

The judge upheld the arguments of the EFCC and granted a final forfeiture of the items valued at N57.4 million to SEAP, the complainant in the case.

Saleeman granted permanent forfeiture of the properties to SEAP, bringing the case to a decisive end.

Meanwhile, Oyin-Zubair has filed an appeal at the Court of Appeal, Ilorin Division, challenging the ruling of the High Court.

The appeal, marked CA/IL/2025 and filed on Friday, July 25, 2025, is contesting the ruling.
