The Federal High Court sitting in Lagos has ordered the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to unfreeze the account of the wife of former President, Patience Jonathan.
One of the accounts which contained $5.9m was frozen when the court presided over by Justice Mojisola Olatoregun in December 2016, had made the freezing order following an application for an interim injunction by the EFCC to that effect.
The EFCC had in an affidavit deposed to by one of its operatives, Mr. Abdulahi Tukur, told the judge that suspected proceeds of crime were retained in the accounts and urged the judge to urgently freeze the accounts pending the conclusion of its investigations.

ReplyDeleteThe courts are undoing the injustice meted out to these group of people. You don't just freeze someones account on mere speculation without proof that the money was corruptly gotten, it was the judge that froze the initially that unfroze it again based on the fact that EFCC were unable to prove that the money was ill gotten.
DeleteIf u have any proof, tender it to EFCC, the will appreciate it.
