FG adamant as court unfreezes #EndSARS campaigners’ bank accounts


 A Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday ordered the Central Bank of Nigeria to immediately unfreeze 20 bank accounts linked to protesters and promoters of #EndSARS.

Justice Ahmed Mohammed gave the order following the sudden withdrawal of a suit instituted against them by the CBN through its counsel, Michael Aondoakaa (SAN).

The order which was for 180 days was to enable the CBN probe the alleged crime against the defendants.

Although the order was supposed to be renewed upon an application by the CBN, the apex bank, however, opted to withdraw its earlier application for an extension of time and the subsequent decision of the defendants through their lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN), to also withdraw all processes filed against the suit.

When the matter came up on Wednesday, Aondoakaa told the court that he had discussed with counsel for the defendants and in the spirit of reconciliation, his client was withdrawing the suit.

A Call for Accountability in Odigbo Local Government By Ogbeni Victor Akinnubi (ward chairman of ADC, Odigbo ward 8) It is high time we, the people of Odigbo Local Government, demanded transparency and accountability from those entrusted with our collective resources. Month after month, Odigbo Local Government receives a substantial allocation from the Federal Government — running into hundreds of millions of naira — yet there is little or no visible development to justify these funds. As concerned citizens and stakeholders, we deserve to know how these allocations are being utilized. Our roads remain deplorable, our schools and healthcare centers lack basic amenities, and the welfare of our people continues to deteriorate despite the huge inflow of public funds. Local governance is meant to bring government closer to the people, not to distance them from the benefits of democracy. Therefore, I, Ogbeni Victor Akinnubi , call on the Executive Chairman of Odigbo Local Govern...
