The US government has seized a Rockville home belonging to former Bayelsa governor, DiepreyeAlamieyeseigha, the U.S. Department of Justice said in a news release last week Friday May 31.
Feds 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.
