According to a report by The Punch, the Independent Corrupt Practices and Related Offences agency has seized 24 property and several cars from three civil servants.

A document obtained from the Office of the Chairman of the ICPC, Ekpo Nta, titled ‘Notice of Seizure of Movable and Immovable Properties Pursuant' to Section 45 (4) a – (b) of the Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Ac 2000, reveals that the property was seized because they were “excessive of the emoluments of the affected officers."

The fact that one of the civil servants of the Ministry of Niger Delta has 18 properties validates this document.

According to Nigeriarealestatehub, the three officials are Poloma Kabiru Nuhu, Mangset Longyl Dickson and Daniel Obah, who are all principal account officers of the ministry, were dealt with as a result of the outcome of investigations by the ICPC.

The ICPC boss has defended the decision to seize the properties saying it would be served on the appropriate Land Registries and Departments in all the states where the property are situated.
