The Federal High Court in Lagos has awarded a punitive cost of N5 million against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for freezing the bank account of one Mr Charles Aiyeyi since December 201

8.According to the court, after the EFCC released Itepu to Aiyeyi on administrative bail, the suspect jumped the bail and refused to honour further invitations by the EFCC.

He urged the court to declare that his detention and the freezing of his bank account amounted to a breach of his fundamental rights under sections 34, 35 and 44 of the Constitution.But the EFCC filed a counter-affidavit in opposition to the suit. But the court, in a judgment by Justice Nicholas Oweibo, faulted Aiyeyi’s arrest and the freezing of his account.

“The only liability for the applicant for failure to produce the suspect is to show cause or forfeit the sum of N18m bail bond.
