A federal high court in Lagos has directed 19 banks to seize assets belonging to businessmen Olajide Omokore and Kolawole Aluko until it decides the fate of a suit seeking the recovery of the $1.7 billion owed to the federal government.
Both men are associates of Diezani Alison-Madueke, former minister of petroleum.
Omokore, Aluko and their oil firms allegedly owe the federal government $1, 762, 338, 284.40 for crude oil lifted under the strategic alliance agreements (SAA).
