The EFCC has transferred St. Solomon Hospital, Ikeja which is valued at over $2m to the medical unit of the Nigerian Air Force, pending the outcome of Amosu’s trial.
The hospital, which is said to boast of a Magnetic Resonance Imaging machine which costs well over $1m, was seized from a former Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Adesola Amosu (retd.). It is assumed that the money used in buying the hospital was stolen from the Air Force.”
Other properties seized from Amosu are: a house on Adeyemo Alakija Street, GRA Ikeja worth N250m; a duplex at House 11, Peace Court Estate, GRA Ikeja worth N110m; a N40m property located at NAF Harmony Estate, Asokoro base; a five-bedroomed house at Valley NAF Estate, Port Harcourt, worth N33m and a N95m house on Umaru Dikko Street, Jabi.
The Federal Government has also commenced moves to seize Amosu’s house at 50 Tenterden Grove, NW41TH, London worth about £2m.
Amosu as well as a former Chief of Accounts and Budgeting in NAF, Air Vice Marshal Jacob Adigun (retd.); and a former Director of Finance and Budget, Air Commodore Olugbenga Gbadebo (retd.), are currently standing trial before a Federal High Court for allegedly stealing N22.8bn from the coffers of the Nigerian Air Force between 2014 and 2015.
