Abuja High Court Freezes 32 Bank Accounts Linked to #EndBadGovernance Protest  

629

A Federal High Court in Abuja has frozen the bank accounts of 32 individuals and companies linked to the #EndBadGovernance protest. The accounts were frozen as part of an investigation into allegations of criminal conspiracy, terrorism financing, and other unlawful activities.

Justice Emeka Nwite, who issued the order, directed the banks to block withdrawals from the accounts while allowing deposits. The court also instructed the banks to detain any account holders or individuals attempting to transact on these accounts until the investigation is complete.

The Inspector-General of Police (IGP) had filed a motion, claiming the funds in these accounts were being used to finance illegal activities, including attempts to undermine Nigeria’s sovereignty. The IGP also alleged that foreign nationals were involved in supporting these unlawful activities.

The court order targeted a variety of accounts held in different banks across Nigeria, including UBA, Access Bank, Zenith Bank, and others. The police believe these accounts are linked to people trying to cause chaos and overthrow the government. The investigation is reportedly ongoing.
