EFCC Recovers 11 Houses Built By 2 Nephews Of Arthur Eze From Money Stolen From His Company

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has returned eleven houses recovered in different parts of Enugu to billionaire businessman, Arthur Eze. The properties were recovered by the EFCC from the duo of Olisaebuka Okechukwu Eze and Onyeka Nnadozie Eze, administration and finance manager respectively in Arthur Eze’s firm, accused of criminal breach of trust and diversion of funds belonging to the business mogul.

EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, disclosed this in a statement today in Abuja.

According to the commission, the investigation established that the duo who are also the nephew of the business mogul used proceeds of their alleged criminal activities to acquire choice properties in Enugu and other parts of South Eastern Nigeria.

Uwujaren said the anti-graft agency in the course of the investigation initiated forfeiture proceedings against the two company officials before Justice I.M Buba of the Federal High Court, Enugu, which granted an interim order of forfeiture of the said properties, directing the defendants to show cause why the properties should not be finally forfeited.

“in the absence of any contrary information, the court on october 18, 2021, ordered that the properties be finally forfeited and returned to the nominal complainant, chief arthur eze,” uwujaren said.

Receiving the properties in Enugu, Eze expressed gratitude to the EFCC for ensuring that justice is served.
