Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke made the order sequel to a motion ex parte filed and argued by the counsel to the EFCC, Rotimi Oyedepo SAN, who led Bilkisu Buhari-Bala and Chineye Okezie in the proceedings.
The court ordered the interim forfeiture of the properties to the Federal Government.
Oyedepo informed the court that Emefiele was suspected of having bought the choice properties by proxy, with the proceeds of fraud.
The properties are mostly located in highbrow parts of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
The EFCC also named three CBN Staff, Obayemi Oluwaseun Teben, Akomolafe Adebayo and Olubunmi Makinde as Emefiele’s accomplices who used their positions and influence to secure retail and special allocation of foreign exchange to different companies in exchange for kickbacks.
