The Federal High Court in Lagos on Tuesday ordered the freezing of three bank accounts said to belong to the Lagos State Government over an alleged fraud of N9.9bn.

The three bank accounts, domiciled in First City Monument Bank, Access Bank, and Zenith Bank, are numbered 5617984012, 0060949275 and 1011691254, respectively.

The EFCC had prayed the judge to freeze the accounts pending the conclusion of the investigation and possible prosecution of the Permanent Secretary in the Office of the Chief of Staff to the Governor of Lagos State, Adewale Adesanya, for money laundering. Daniel said the schedule of the FCMB account showed how Adesanya and the other signatories to the account made fraudulent transfers from the accounts of the Lagos State Government and dissipated the funds housed in the said accounts.

The EFCC prayed the court to grant it an order to temporarily attach and take over the accounts to enable it to conclude its investigations.

You put it wrongly, see other news media, Lagos state account was not froze but accounts linked to Ambode, have you joined herdsmedia?

Another poorly written article..this article has nothing to do with SanwoOlu..

Baba needs money for 2023 Edakun ooo

Not Lagos state account then...but account(s) linked to the former governor

I have been waiting for this day.

EFCC eye dey red o. See close marking

Beyond retweeting, pls click on the story to read. It says: “a huge inflow of N9,927,714,443.29” from the state accounts into an FCMB bank account opened on September 17, 2018 during the administration of former Governor Akinwunmi Ambode and operated by Adesanya (the accused)”

bigafees, do you believe this could happen? This is what has been having negative effect on salaries and pensions payment as well as infrastructural deficit in Lagos.

Waw. 9.9bn hmmmmmm may God help us.

As usual😂
