Restriction targeted at one accountAccording to the EFCC spokesman, the commission did not freeze all bank accounts belonging to the Osun State Government but only placed a temporary restriction on a single account linked to suspicious financial activities. Uwujaren maintained that the action was not influenced by the ongoing political activities in Osun State, insisting that the EFCC had a duty to prevent the possible diversion of public funds. He argued that the commission would have faced public criticism if it had ignored the suspicious transactions and the funds were eventually misappropriated. Government operations unaffectedThe EFCC spokesperson dismissed claims that the restriction had crippled the state’s financial operations, saying the Osun State Government still had access to other bank accounts for its day-to-day activities. The EFCC had earlier disclosed that it began investigating the Osun State Government in March 2026 over the alleged mismanagement of about ₦11 billion from Ecology Funds, Intervention Funds and Federation Account Allocation Committee allocations.
