The presiding judge gave the order on Wednesday, June 5.
As reported by TheCable, the court gave the order after the EFCC counsel, Rotimi Oyedepo, filed a suit against Emefiele.
Oyedepo alleged that Emefiele was suspected of purchasing prime properties through proxies using proceeds from fraud.
According to the anti-graft agency, these properties are primarily located in upscale areas of Abuja.
The EFCC also identified three CBN officials — Obayemi Oluwaseun Teben, Akomolafe Adebayo, and Olubunmi Makinde — as Emefiele’s accomplices.
Aneke adjourned the hearing for the motion for final forfeiture to June 21.
