The Federal Government says it has auctioned several properties forfeited through court processes after they were linked to drug traffickers. Vanguard reports that the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) seized the assets and that the government then disposed of them through an auction to recover value associated with the crimes. The report states that the auction covers four forfeited properties, including a hotel in Lagos, with proceeds reported in the range of about N6.1 billion to N6.15 billion. One report specifies the total proceeds as N6.148 billion, while another describes the figure as N6.15 billion. The government also reiterates that proceeds of crime are not meant to be enjoyed by convicted criminals, emphasizing that recovered assets are handled through lawful forfeiture and disposal channels. Details on the buyers were not provided in the excerpts, but both accounts agree on the key points: the NDLEA’s role in seizure, the court-linked forfeiture of the properties, and the auction proceeds near N6.1–N6.15 billion.
