Diezani’s Bid to Recover Forfeited Assets Adjourned to January 2027

A Federal High Court in Abuja has adjourned former Petroleum Resources Minister Diezani Alison-Madueke’s case over assets forfeited to the Federal Government until January 26, 2027. Her newly appointed lawyer, Eko-Ejembi Eko, asked for more time to study the case documents. The EFCC did not oppose the request, which Justice Inyang Ekwo granted. Alison-Madueke is asking the court to compel the EFCC to recover properties she says were seized and sold. She is also challenging the commission’s notice of the auction and the subsequent sales. The case follows an earlier ruling allowing her to present evidence related to her acquittal by a London court. The EFCC has opposed the request, arguing that the decision is not relevant to the Nigerian proceedings.
