The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission( EFCC) has faulted the judgment of a Federal High Court, Abuja returning seized assets to a former Minister of Aviation, Sen. Stella Oduah.

The commission said it will challenge the judgment in the Court of Appeal.

The Head of Media and Publicity of the anti-graft commission, Mr. Dele Oyewale, made the disclosures in a statement in Abuja.

He said: “The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has been drawn to a ruling of a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, delivered on Monday on the vacation of an interim forfeiture order regarding some assets traced to former Aviation Minister, Senator Stella Oduah.

“Justice Inyang Ekwo, in the ruling, struck out the EFCC’s counter-affidavit on the ground that it “was filed out of time without first seeking the court’s leave for an extension of time to file”.

“The EFCC is dissatisfied with the ruling and will file an appeal against it accordingly.”
