 The Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday declined an application by former imo state governor, Ruchaz Okurocha, asking it to restrain the imo state government and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission from confiscating his properties. A state high court in Oweri had on Monday ordered a final and absolute forfeiture of Real Palm Springs Hotel and other properties said to belong to Senator Okurocha and other members of his family. According to a ruling by Justice Fred in Jumanse who was seated as a vacation judge, Okurocha's council failed to give concrete and verifiable reasons why a final and absolute forfeiture order should not be given in favor of the imo state government. Justice in Jumanse added that a suit filed against the state government by Okurocha's council was not properly filed.
