Jeddy-Agba said the recovered funds had been approved for the construction of a healthcare centre for the residents of Bayelsa State.

“This asset return arose from the forfeiture and recovery of approximately $1 million linked to the corrupt practices of former Bayelsa state governor, D.S.P. Alamieyeseigha,” she said.

The US government, in partnership with Nigeria, initiated and completed forfeiture proceedings against certain real property and investment funds located in Maryland and Massachusetts against the former governor.
