This indeed are not the best of times for Chief Diepreye Alamieyeseigha as the US government went ahead to seize one of his many properties stashed in many countries abroad.
The Property a Rockville home belonging to former Bayelsa governor, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, was seized following a directive by the U.S. Department of Justice.
A while ago , the frontline politician was in the eye of the storm , after he was granted presidential pardon by the President Goodluck Jonathan led administration, which was widely believed to be politicized.
Federal Department said they seized the home because the former governor bought the house using stolen state money. Alamieyeseigha was ordered to relinquish the $700,000 home on May 24, following an investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on the likelihood of a money laundering allegation on the politician.
So sad for Nigeria, when will this senseless looting come to an end?
