Criminal Trial Money Laundering (9 Counts) N868.4 Million Ongoing and Boko Haram funds diversion.

Accordingly the court has rule on luxury mansion were some of the funds linked to Ex-Accountant General be forfeitured to the Federal Government.

The Federal High Court in Abuja has fixed April 30, 2026, to decide if a luxury property owned by the former Acting Accountant General of the Federation (AGF), Chukwunyere Anamekwe Nwabuoku, will be permanently forfeited to the Federal Government.

But it’s not just about a house—it’s about where the money allegedly came from.

The EFCC’s revelation in court was a gut punch to the nation as the prosecution counsel Ekele Iheanacho, SAN said the funds released was strictly for military operations to fight Boko Haram.

The Diversion: Approximately N900 million was allegedly diverted using fictitious accounts while Nwabuoku was the Director of Finance in the Ministry of Defence.

The Mansion: Out of that money, N355 million was allegedly funneled through a friend’s company (M Davies Enterprises Ltd) to buy the very house Nwabuoku is currently living in.

EFCC Prosecution Counsel said the fictitious accounts was used to buy the property in question was purchased.”

Report has it that the Defense on it’s part said “I already gave the mansion Keys to EFCC”

In a bizarre twist, the EFCC revealed that during the investigation, Nwabuoku voluntarily handed over the keys to the house and even refunded some cash.

However, now that the case is in court, his legal team is fighting back, claiming:
Jurisdiction Issues:

They argue the court doesn’t have the power to hear this specific forfeiture.
Double Jeopardy:

They claim the property is already part of a separate criminal trial where he’s facing money laundering charges to the tune of N868 million.
