A fresh court document has revealed that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) obtained an order freezing three bank accounts belonging to the Osun State Government over allegations of diversion of public funds and money laundering. The affected accounts were listed as the Osun State Government Federal Allocation Account domiciled with First Bank and two Osun State Joint Allocation Accounts domiciled with Zenith Bank. The EFCC said the restrictions were imposed to prevent the possible dissipation of public funds and denied that the action was politically motivated. The Osun State Government subsequently filed a suit against the EFCC, its chairman and First Bank, challenging the legality of the restrictions. The government alleged that freezing the accounts shortly before the election was intended to cripple its operations at a politically sensitive period.
