A federal high court in Abuja has ordered the permanent forfeiture of funds allegedly linked to Winifred Oyo-Ita, former head of service.<\/p>\n

According to the PUNCH<\/a><\/strong>, the particulars of the case were not read out in the open court when Folashade Ogunbanjo-Giwa, the judge, gave the order.<\/p>\n

Oyo-Ita is embroiled in a N3 billion fraud allegation, which Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is investigating.<\/p>\n

She has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n

At the court on Thursday, M.S Abubakar, counsel to the EFCC, said the funds were voluntarily returned to the commission as proceeds of crime.<\/p>

The counsel said no one has challenged the order of the court when it made a ruling for the temporary forfeiture of the funds.<\/p>\n

According to him, the funds have been paid into an account domiciled in the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) as soon as it was returned by the suspect.<\/p>\n

Oyo-Ita has since resigned her appointment as head of service, and was replaced by Folashade Yemi-Esan.<\/p>\n
