According to ACE1 Ola Tochi Oji, member of the EFCC Asset Disposal Committee, "Today is for inspection of the cars, tomorrow, December 13, is for competitive bidding and auction. The highest bidder wins and pays directly to the Federal Government account."

James Enedo, representative of, Richmate 480, a Federal Government approved auctioneer, says the process will be transparent and the winners are expected to pay within 48 hours to the Federal Government’s account.

Speaking during the event, Commander of the EFCC, CE Osita Nwajah, a member of Asset Disposal Committee, said the EFCC gave the exercise wide publicity to ensure full participation by citizens.

 “We gave this exercise a very wide publicity because we want total Nigerian participation. There is no hanky-panky, there is no underhand tactics. Everything that is done here is open and transparent, we want to be accountable to the Nigerian people.

 “This is your money that some people have cornered, but justice has caught up with them, it has been recovered, the court has forfeited these assets to the Federal Government.

“The government is saying let’s send it back to the Nigerian people at a very small fee and of course those proceeds are sent back to the government to do what we expect them to do with the money. Roads and other infrastructures, education, water”, he said.

 Nine Vessels/ barges will also be auctioned in Port Harcourt.

 

Over 430 vehicles, vessels/barges, computers and electronic devices are to be auctioned by the Commission in line with relevant provisions of the EFCC Establishment Act, 2004, and Proceeds of Crime (Recovery and Management) Act 2022.
