A former Managing Director of the Pipelines and Product Marketing Company , Haruna Momoh and his wife Eileen, yesterday said a court was misled into temporarily forfeiting N2.4 billion said to belong to them.
They said they had no funds in Stanbic IBTC Bank, contrary to the ICPC's claim that it found millions in euros, dollars and naira in accounts linked to them and that"the aggregate sum in the other banks are far less" than what was announced by the commission. The statement said:"We have read the publications in the newspapers on Tuesday and we confirm that the order obtained by ICPC, which we have since confirmed through a search of the records of court, is a calculated scheme by ICPC to pervert justice.
"Without disclosing to the new court that there was judgment of the Federal High Court against them, they moved the court ex parte to grant an order of temporary forfeiture.
