The auction of the properties came in the wake of the successful auction of 649 vehicles in Abuja, Port Harcourt, Ilorin and other locations.
Naomisophyblog reports that most of the properties slated for auction belong to government officials who used their offices to enrich themselves and their cronies by siphoning public funds.
Among the properties slated for auction are those cornered by the former Minister of Petroleum, Diezani Alison-Madueke and those procured by a former head of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), Ayodele Oke.
On December 15, 2022, EFCC Chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa said the anti-graft agency had auctioned over 649 vehicles and was ready to auction 160 forfeited flats and apartments as well as parcels of land in 16 locations in the country.
The commission set January 9, 2023, as the timeline for bids by prospective buyers.
Earlier, the EFCC auctioned 649 vehicles in Abuja and Lagos.
