Alison-Madueke, in an originating motion, sought an order extending the time within which to seek leave to apply to the court for an order to set aside the EFCC’s public notice issued to conduct public sale on her property.
The former minister, who argued that the various orders were made without jurisdiction, said she was not given fair hearing in all the proceedings leading to the orders.
She argued that she was neither served with the charge sheet and proof of evidence in any of the charge nor any other summons in respect of the criminal charges pending against her before the court.
When the matter was mentioned in court yesterday, counsel to Alison-Madueke, Oluchi Uche, told Justice Inyang Ekwo that they were just been served by the EFFC and they would need time to respond to the counter affidavit.
You may recall that the anti-corruption agency had planned to conduct public sale of all assets seized from Alison-Madueke, beginning from January 9 as contained in its public notice following various court judgments and orders issued in favor of the commission as final forfeiture orders against property and personal effects of the former minister.
