The Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, on Tuesday, found former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godsday Orubebe, guilty of false declaration of asset.

Orubebe had been standing trial on a one-count charge of false asset declaration.

The Federal Government had claimed that Orubebe, who was a minister under the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan, committed the offence while he was a public officer.

But chairman of the tribunal, Danladi Umar, in his judgement, ruled:“‎I hereby seize, on behalf of the federal government, the property known as plot 2057.


The tribunal chairman held that Orubebe committed an offence for not declaring a piece of property in Abuja, which the former minister claimed he had sold.
