The Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) has today seized and forfeited a landed property alleged to belong to former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godsday Peter Orubebe.
Orubebe was arraigned by the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) at the CCT late last year for alleged false asset declaration on a landed property, plot number 2057 of Cadastral zone Asokoro, Abuja alleged to belong to him.
Justice Umar Danladi, while delivering judgment on the matter, noted that Orubebe submitted that he had transfer the deeds of assignment to the land to the first defense witness, Barrister Akinwunmi Ajibola.
The judge said the Tribunal observed that Ajibola ought to have registered the property with the Land Authority six years ago and the fact he didn’t do this rendered the documents tendered by the defendant as evidence of the transfer to be worthless.
