No fewer than 11 properties were seized from Amosu; 12 seized from Adigun and six from Gbadebo.
The properties included three big plazas, six mansions, a quarry, a hospital, a block of flats, animal farms, a school, two hotels, some massive uncompleted buildings and some parcels of land.
According to documents made available exclusively to Punch, the properties were acquired mostly in 2014.
The properties seized from only Adigun were said to be worth N9.6billion.
Some of the properties include a shopping plaza known as Capadar Plaza on Adetokunbo Ademola Crescent, Wuse 2, which is worth N980m; a residential mansion on Lake Chad Street, Maitama, Abuja, worth N450m; an executive mansion in Imo River Close, Off Dandube Crescent, Maitama, worth N710m and a four-unit terrace on Agadez Street, Off Aminu Kano Crescent, Wuse 2, worth N720m.

The source added that all the properties had been seized.
He added, “Adigun spent most of his own share of the money on properties and so we did not recover much cash from him. Amosu, however, returned over N2.3bn and raised two bank drafts.”
He added that some of the properties seized from Amosu included a house on Adeyemo Alakija Street, Victoria Island, Lagos, worth N250m; a duplex at House 11, Peace Court Estate, GRA, Ikeja, Lagos, worth N110m; a N40m property located at NAF Harmony Estate, Asokoro Base and a five-bedroomed house at Valley NAF Estate, Port Harcourt, worth N33m.
