[2013]DLHC12087 • July 31, 2013 • High Court
EOCO vs. AFRIOCEAN LTD, BABATUNDE MARTINS
RULING The application to confirm freezing was made on the 26th February 2012 subsequently a motion on the 21/03/13 for seizure and transfer into EOCO account and moved on 11th April 2013. The EOCO is to publish notices per the Order. Affidavit deposed on 14th May 2013 paragraph 22 shows EOCO had not yet complied with the Order. Interestingly again, the money had been recalled whiles there was a subsisting Court Order. There was a recalled was on 20/12/2011 at 10:10 am. If there was confirmation proceedings on the 26/02/2012 whilst there was a recall on 20/12/2011 why did EOCO come to confirm freezing and subsequent application for seizure on the 21/03/2013. This to me does not make sense. I will therefore grant the application for defreezing of the applicant’s accounts.
