Five staff of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) on
Friday urged a Federal High Court in Lagos to halt their ejection from a PHCN
property forfeited to the Federal Government by former Managing Director of
Oceanic Bank, Cecilia Ibru.
Ibru, it would be recalled, forfeited N191 billion worth of assets to the
Federal Government through the Assets Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON)
as part of the plea bargain arrangement between her and the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
AMCON had on March 6, 2013 forcefully ejected the PHCN workers from the
property, which is located at No 5A George St., Ikoyi Lagos.
But the PHCN workers are contending that the said property allegedly acquired by Ibru, was at all material time, the property of PHCN and so, Ibru had no right to forfeit same to the Federal Government.

The workers are: Mr Afolabi Dada, Mr Charles Amadi, Mr Lawan Muhammad, Mrs
Comfort Odili-Iwuafor and Mr Anthony Abikoye.
