Justice Inyang Ekwo of a Federal High Court, Abuja, on Friday set aside his earlier order of interim forfeiture against 40 properties linked to former Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu.
While Chief Adegboyega Awomolo had argued on behalf of Ekweremadu, the federal government’s lawyer, Mr Sylvanus Tahir , who had opposed the request for the setting aside of the forfeiture order, stated that he would however not oppose an order of status quo, pending the return of Ekweremadu, who is currently being detained in the United Kingdom over allegations bordering on organ harvesting.
Awomolo, in supporting the allegations, informed Justice Ekwo that the commission wrote a letter to the London court, following which the foreign court denied Ekweremadu bail. He said that the anti-graft agency deliberately refused to disclose to the court that the former DSP is being held in London and would not be able to counter the forfeiture request.
