AGF says US court did not order seizure of money in Nigeria’s account

09/26/2024 3

The Federal Government, on Wednesday, debunked a media report that a District Court in the United States of America (USA) ordered the seizure of $21 million from Nigeria’s account.

FG, through a statement that was signed by the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN) described the news as false and misleading.

In the statement, the Ministry wishes to set the record straight regarding an inaccurate publication by Peoples Gazette and others alleging that a US District Court has authorized a certain Louis Williams to seize $21 million from Nigeria’s account with JP Morgan.

The AGF added that none of the media outlets that syndicated the story sought the reaction of the Nigerian government while challenging them to publish a copy of the US Court order authorizing the said seizure.
