EFCC

The Federal High Court in Abuja has okayed an interim order to freeze about 1 146 bank accounts allegedly linked to unauthorized foreign exchange transactions by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission.

Justice Emeka Nwite ordered that the identified accounts belonging to individuals and companies should be frozen for at least 90 days to allow the federal government to conclude its investigations and that they could have been used for money laundering and terrorism financing. “It is at this moment ordered as follows: That the applicant’s application is hereby granted as prayed.

recalls that the court had, in March, ordered Binance Holdings Limited to release to the EFCC a comprehensive detail of all persons from Nigeria that are trading on its platform. Nigeria's government has since charged the company and two top officials to court for money laundering and tax evasion.
