The EFCC says it has appealed against the court’s judgement lifting the forfeiture order on the properties linked to the Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello.
The Federal High Court in Lagos, on Wednesday, struck out an interim order of forfeiture, seeking to forfeit properties linked to Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello.
The court had also directed EFCC to make publications in two national dailies for any interested parties to show cause why the order should not be made absolute. Besides, he contested the illegality of the suit by EFCC on the grounds that the case was in flagrant disobedience to an existing order of a State High Court.
Responding to the applicant’s averment, counsel to EFCC, Rotimi Oyedepo SAN, argued that the applicant had brought nothing before the court to convince the court to vacate the order.
