Justice Owoeye, having been fully persuaded with the evidence presented before the court, granted the application as prayed. 


 


The judge also directed the Commission to publish the interim order in any national newspaper to enable any interested person appear before the court and show cause why the funds and property should not be finally forfeited to the Federal Government of Nigeria.
