According to Sahara Reporters, one of the President Muhammadu Buhari’s special assistants wrote to the Serious Fraud Office in the UK and is relying on the recently passed Unexplained Wealth Order (UWO) in the country.

The new order “prescribes forfeiture of assets valued at 50,000 pounds and above for which the owner cannot adequately explain the source of income with which it was acquired.”

Fowler in the letter said “The objective of this letter is to alert you of this development in view of the Voluntary Declaration of Assets and Income Scheme introduced by the Federal Government.”
