An #EndSARS campaigner, Rinu Oduala, has urged the Central
Bank of Nigeria to freeze the bank accounts of the Minister of Communications
and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, over his past controversial comments
supporting the activities of terrorist groups including Taliban and Al-Qaeda.
Pantami had since renounced his radical pro-terrorists
comments, saying he now knows better but Nigerians have been unsparing and
relentless in the call for the resignation or sacking of the minister.
Oduala, who tweeted via @SavvyRinu on Thursday, urged the
CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele to freeze Pantami’s accounts just as the apex
bank swiftly froze the accounts of at least 20 #EndSARS promoters last year
over terrorism-related allegations.
“Godwin Emefiele, when are you going to freeze the bank
accounts of Isa Pantami?” the activist asked.
The apex bank had through an ex parte order frozen the
account of Oduala and 19 other persons who played a role in the October
#EndSARS protests against police brutality and extrajudicial killings.
The CBN had said the accounts were frozen because of the
nature of the investigation which is terrorism-related but after about three
months, a Federal High Court in Abuja ordered the apex bank to unfreeze the
accounts of the 20 #EndSARS protesters.
Oduala, a leading voice during the #EndSARS protests last
year had pulled out of the Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry probing
alleged killing of protesters by soldiers at the Lekki toll gate. She had
faulted the decision of the retired Justice Doris Okuwobi-led panel to reopen
the toll gate when justice hasn’t been served to the victims of the October 20,
2020 Lekki shootings.
