SAN FRANCISCO, July 04, (THEWILL) – A former minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mr. Bala Mohammed on Tuesday begged an Abuja High Court at Gudu to grant him entry into his house that was sealed-off by the Economic Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, since May 2016.Â
He told the court that he would like to visit his six-bedroom duplex at No 1 Mariam Mukhtar Street, Asokoro, Abuja, to enable him and other members of his household to retrieve some of their personal effects trapped in the property.
The personal effects which Mohammed and his family members are seeking to retrieve from the house include: 35 sets of babaringa, 15 pieces of perfumes, 50 sets of leather handbags, 65 pairs of shoes, over 35 boxes of clothes, bed sheets, kitchen utensils and a BMW car.
In the application filed on June 7, 2017, Mohammed contended that he and his entire family members, as well as his domestic aides, were residing in the six-bedroom duplex until it was sealed off by the EFCC sometime in May 2016.
The anti-graft agency is prosecuting Mohammed before the court presided over by Justice Abubakar Talba on six counts bordering on abuse of office, receiving of gratification and making false assets declaration of some of his properties.
