On July 2, 2021, the judge granted an interim order of forfeiture following an exparte application by the EFCC.
Mohammed directed that the ruling be published in a national newspaper for any one with interest in the money to show cause why it should not be permanently handed over to the government.
At today’s hearing, EFCC counsel, S. H. Sa’ad, said the commission complied, made the publication and wants the money ceded to FG.
