At the resumed hearing, Mr Ifedayo Adedipe (SAN) announced to the court of his readiness to move his client’s application.

She had swiftly sued Skye Bank Plc and the EFCC on that account.
NAN reports that the anti-graft body went ahead to freeze the applicant’s personal account with a balance of 5 million US dollars. (NAN)
