EFCC’s spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, said in a statement that the court issued the interim order on Wednesday.
EFCC said the interim order of forfeiture of the money was issued on the ground that it “is reasonably suspected to have been derived from unlawful activity and intended to be used for the acquisition of Plot No. 1224 Bishop Oluwole Street, Victoria Island Lagos.” The application was supported by an affidavit deposed to by Adekunbi Mojibola, an investigating officer with the commission.
In his ruling on the application, Mr Oweibo granted the application, as prayed and directed the commission to publish the interim order within 14 days for any interested party to show cause why the forfeiture order should not be made permanent in favour of the Federal Government of Nigeria.
