The Osun State Government has commenced legal action against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) following the restriction placed on some of its bank accounts. Jimi-Bada said the government received information that the EFCC had directed First Bank to place a Post-No-Debit restriction on several accounts belonging to the state. “EFCC can investigate the accounts, but it can’t freeze the accounts without an order of court.” Before the accounts were reportedly restricted, Adeleke had raised the alarm over an alleged plan by the EFCC to freeze accounts belonging to the state government and senior officials. The EFCC had directed First Bank to place a Post-No-Debit restriction on the Osun State Government’s statutory allocation account as part of an ongoing investigation.
