For former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, there is no end to his woes.
Today, Friday, November 4, a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja ordered an interim forfeiture of 40 landed properties linked to Ekweremadu.
The affected properties include 10 properties in Enugu, three in the United States of America, two in the UK, one in Lagos, nine in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and 15 located in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
The forfeiture followed an ex-parte motion filed and moved by Ibrahim Buba, lawyer to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Ekweremadu and his wife, Beatrice, are currently in custody in the United Kingdom (UK), over allegations bordering on organ trafficking of David Ukpo, who is said to be a minor.
Justice Inyang Ekwo, who granted the motion, ordered the anti-graft agency to publish the interim forfeiture order of the property in a national daily within seven days.
The judge further directed anybody who had an interest in the forfeited property to indicate within 14 days of the publication of the interim forfeiture order on why the property should not be permanently forfeited to the Federal Government.
Justice Ekwo, therefore, adjourned the matter until December 5 for a report.
