In the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/1762/2026, filed on Thursday, Governor Ademola Adeleke, the Attorney-General of Osun State and the Accountant-General of the state are the 1st to 3rd plaintiffs. The plaintiffs further asked the court to determine whether First Bank acted lawfully by implementing the EFCC’s directive in the absence of a subsisting court order authorising the restriction. Among the reliefs sought are declarations that the freezing of the account was unlawful, unconstitutional, null and void, and an order setting aside the restriction placed on the account. The plaintiffs also urged the court to direct First Bank to immediately restore the state’s unrestricted access to the account. The court action came shortly before President Bola Tinubu directed the EFCC to take immediate steps to vacate the order freezing the Osun State Federal Statutory Allocation Account.
