Court Order On BVN ‘A Great Embarrassment’ To Lawyers, Says Adegboruwa

A human rights activist and lawyer, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa criticised the interim forfeiture order made by a federal high court for the forfeiture of funds in bank accounts that have not been linked to BVN.

He said, "This BVN thing is a great embarrassment to us as lawyers and people who love this government for the fight against corruption because, indeed, we support every effort to recover our (stolen) funds," he said during an appearance on Channels Television's Politics Today. Forfeiture is like a punishment and without an offence - written down, specified and passed on to the person who is concerned, you can't take my money; it is my property, it is my vested interest, it is my asset," he said.
