Federal Court Forfeits N150m Linked to Rep Nicholas Mutu in NDDC Kickback Probe

A Federal High Court in Abuja granted the final forfeiture of N150 million linked to Nicholas Mutu after an EFCC application. Investigators showed that Mutu received over N400 million in kickbacks from an NDDC consultant. The funds were laundered through his companies’ accounts at Heritage Bank. Mutu later returned N150 million but claimed it was not voluntary. He relied on a subcontract document to justify the transactions, but the consultant confirmed it was a ruse and no services were rendered. With no sufficient cause shown to challenge the interim order, Justice Abdulmalik ruled the N150 million as proceeds of unlawful activities and ordered its final forfeiture to the Federal Government.
