By Matthew Ogune, Abuja

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC) said it is dissatisfied with the ruling of a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, delivered on Monday, June 8, 2020, on the vacation of an interim forfeiture order regarding some assets traced to former Aviation Minister, Senator Stella Oduah.

EFCC in a statement by its Spokesperson, Dele Oyewale noted that it will file an appeal against it accordingly.

Statement reads: “The attention of the EFCC has been drawn to a ruling of a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, delivered on Monday, June 8, 2020, on the vacation of an interim forfeiture order regarding some assets traced to former Aviation Minister, Senator Stella Oduah”

Justice Inyang Ekwo, in the ruling, struck out the EFCC’s counter-affidavit on the ground that it “was filed out of time without first seeking the court’s leave for an extension of time to file”

“The EFCC is dissatisfied will file an appeal against it accordingly,” Oyewale said.
