Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court, Abuja, on Wednesday, fixed October 23 for the hearing of a suit by a former minister of petroleum resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, challenging the forfeiture of her assets to the Federal Government.
In the suit, the ex-minister asked the court to grant an order extending the time within which to set aside the public notice issued by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on the sale of the properties.
The judge fixed the date after Alison-Madueke’s lawyer, Benson Igbanoi, and his EFCC counterpart, M.D. Baraya, regularised their processes on the matter.
