Meanwhile, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has handed over a building forfeited by former petroleum Minister, Diezani Alison Madueke to the Lagos State Government as an isolation centre.
The property consisting of six flats (3 bedroom each), and a boys’ quarter were handed over to Governor Sanwo-olu on Friday by the anti-graft Commission.
The property was forfeited in 2017 following an order of the Federal High Court in Lagos.
According to the zonal Head of EFCC Lagos, Mohammed Rabo, the gesture was an act of social corporate responsibility by the commission towards the Lagos State Government in its fight against COVID-19.
He told the Lagos state government to call on the commission if more forfeited buildings were needed as isolation centres.
