Ike Ekweremadu and the senator representing Akwa ibom north east senetorial district, Bassey Akpan, has been charged by the federal government.
The senators are been charged due to their refusal and negligence to declare their assets to the special presidential investigation panel for the recovery of public property.
The judge, after granting the orders for service through substituted means, fixed October 22, 2018, for hearing in respect of Senator Ekweremadu’s case and November 19, 2018, for Senator Akpan’s case.
The Okoi Obono-Obla-led Special Presidential Investigation Panel had, on behalf of the Federal Government, filed the two separate criminal suits containing two counts each against the Senators.
Senator Ekweremadu’s properties targeted for interim forfeiture includes nine in Abuja; two in London, the United Kingdom; eight in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates; and three in Florida, the United States of America.
The panel had sought the orders of interim forfeiture of the properties linked to the Senators pending the conclusion of investigations.
