A Federal High Court in Abuja – Nigeria’s capital has granted the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) an interim order to freeze 1,146 bank accounts belonging to individuals and companies.
This decision followed claims by the anti-graft agency that the accounts were involved in unauthorized foreign exchange dealings, money laundering, and terrorism financing.
WADR’s Usman Umar in Abuja reports that the ruling has unexpectedly generated another round of debates among legal experts.
