'Why we freeze bank accounts of those under investigation' - EFCC
The
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has released a statement
explaining why it freezes the account of those that are currently under
investigation. In the statement which was shared on their Facebook wall, the
antigraft agency stated that freezing of accounts of anyone under investigation
is a mandatory step backed by law. Read their statement after the cut...
"In recent times, a lot of interest has
been generated by the action of the Commission in freezing the accounts of
suspects that were investigated or are currently being investigated. Some
commentators have tended to ascribe vindictive motives to this action. In order
to prevent misinformation, it is imperative to explain the reason behind the
Commission’s actions in this regard. Freezing of accounts suspected of being
used for commission of financial crimes is a mandatory investigative step
backed by law".
