Human rights lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, has said the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) did not act illegally by freezing an account belonging to the Osun State Government. The senior lawyer stated this on Friday while appearing on Channels Television’s Politics Today amid controversy surrounding the EFCC’s action against an Osun State statutory allocation account. “Under the law, the EFCC has the power to freeze the account of the Federal Government or of any state or local government in Nigeria,” he said. Falana said the EFCC obtained judicial intervention in the Osun case based on information presented to the Federal High Court. And as should be done, the Osun State Government has challenged the legality, the validity of the order, not the timing,” Falana said.
