Justice Mojisola issued an interim order of forfeiture of the sum on June 14 following an exparte motion filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Joined as respondents in the suit are Amosu, and a company, Solomon Enterprises Ltd.

The commission had argued that the money was reasonably suspected to be proceeds of unlawful activities.

Justice Olatoregun had also issued an interim order for the temporary forfeiture of N190 million recovered from a former Air Force Director of Finance and Budget, Air Commodore Olugbenga Gbadebo.

The court had further ordered a temporary forfeiture of N101million recovered from Solomon Enterprises, a company linked to Amosu.

The judge had then directed the EFCC to publish the interim orders in two national dailies, for the respondents or any interested party, to show cause why a final order of forfeiture should not be made.

At the last adjourned date on Oct. 29, the court had adjourned the suit to enable parties respond to the suit.

On Tuesday, Mr Rotimi Oyedepo appeared for the commission while Mr Bolaji Ayorinde (SAN) appeared for the first respondent.

Balogun however, informed the court that his junior counsel, Mr Dapo Ogungbe will move the application.

Meanwhile, Ayorinde, informed the court that he had a motion seeking to regularise, as well as another, seeking extension of time for the first respondent to file an affidavit to show cause, as directed by the court.

After moving his applications, the court granted same.

On the other hand, Mr Dapo Ogungbe, moving his application on behalf of an interested party, (Bolaji Adigun), informed the court of a letter seeking to withdraw an earlier application to discharge the interim order.

The court accordingly struck out same.

He, then informed the court of another application, asking the court to join the interested party in the suit, as well as a motion, seeking extension of time for the interested party to file an affidavit to show cause as ordered by the court.

He told the court that same had been served on the EFCC.

In response, however, Oyedepo informed the court that he had only been served with a counter affidavit of the interested party, but had not received both the application for seeking extension of time.

Following this development, and the court, observing that there were no proof of service in its file, Justice Olatoregun adjourned the case until Nov.12 for hearing.

She ordered counsel to ensure proper service.
