Court shifts Diezani’s suit against EFCC to December 7
The court hearing of Nigeria’s former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke’s suit against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over the final forfeiture of her seized assets has been postponed till December 7, 2023.
The case was originally scheduled for October 23, 2023. The new date is due to the absence of the presiding judge, Justice Inyang Ekwo.
The case, identified as FHC/ABJ/CS/21/23, holds significant importance in the ongoing legal proceedings surrounding Diezani Alison-Madueke’s assets.
This delay comes after earlier preparations, where both Alison-Madueke’s legal representative, Mr. Benson Igbanoi, and the EFCC’s counsel, M.D. Baraya had regularized their legal processes, News Agency of Nigeria reports.
The EFCC’s interest in this matter stems from their intention to conduct a public sale of assets they believe to be the proceeds of criminal activities.
The seized assets, including properties connected to Diezani Alison-Madueke, were marked for permanent forfeiture to the Federal Government.
The auctioning process commenced on January 9, initiating a complex legal battle.
