The two parties were unable to agree on acceptable terms of settlement as promised at the Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST gathered that while the embattled Professor agreed to surrender all assets acquired while serving government, ICPC on its part stood its ground to take over all assets so far traced to him.<\/p>\n

Some of the assets include several schools, companies and cash in banks standing in the name of the defendant.<\/p>\n

ICPC\u2019S lawyer, Ebenezer Sogunle just confirmed to Justice Obiora Egwuatu<\/p>\n

that the agreement had collapsed and that the ICPC was ready to proceed with the trial.<\/p>\n
