The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has explained that it froze the Osun State Government’s bank account after detecting what it described as unusually large transfers to suspicious corporate accounts. The EFCC Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, disclosed this in a statement issued on Wednesday titled, “Why EFCC Froze Osun State Government Account.” The commission said the ongoing probe would not ordinarily have resulted in a Post No Debit restriction on the state’s account. It said its preventive mandate required it to protect public funds and assets from possible diversion. “The Osun State Government account was frozen to save public funds from being looted,” it added.
