Court freezes accounts linked to former Lagos governor, Ambode, over N9.9bn alleged fraud


A Lagos Division of the Federal High Court on Tuesday ordered the freezing of three bank accounts allegedly linked to the Lagos State government and former governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, over an alleged N9.9 billion fraud.

Chuka Obiozor, the judge, ordered the temporary freezing of the accounts, domiciled in Zenith Bank, Access Bank, and First City Monument Bank, following an exparte application brought by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

According to the EFCC, N9.9 billion was paid from the state government’s accounts into the FCMB account opened on September 17, 2018, and operated by Adewale Adesanya, the permanent secretary in the Office of the Chief of Staff to Mr Ambode.

The anti-graft commission urged the court to freeze the account pending the conclusion of their investigation and possible prosecution of Mr Adesanya.

In an affidavit filed in support of the ex parte application, Kungmi Daniel, a member of the EFCC investigating team, said the schedule of the FCMB account showed how Mr Adesanya and the other signatories to the account made fraudulent fund transfers into the account from the accounts of the Lagos State Government.

“The trend in the account is that the account always witnessed huge inflow from Lagos State Government in the above-scheduled accounts managed by the respondent (Adesanya),” the investigator said.

He said the commission received an intelligence on the transfers, analysed it, and found it worthy of investigation.

The EFCC prayed the court to grant it an order to temporarily attach and take over the accounts to enable it to conclude its investigations.

“There have been concerted efforts and attempts to dissipate the contents of the accounts listed in the schedule to this application,” the EFCC said.

“Without freezing the nominated accounts and temporarily forfeiting the money to the Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, there is no way the fraud being perpetrated using the scheduled accounts can be stopped.”

The judge, after listening to the EFCC’s lawyer, Mohammed Abbas, ordered the ”suspension” of the accounts and adjourned till September 9.

Tinubu using power on Ambode, after killing his political career, he still want to ridicule and humiliate him...... even jimi agbaje in the opposition party who is always antagonizing Tinubu never suffered this much.

Ambode have the opportunity to decamp to PDP and contest as a Governor he refuse maybe he would have the little chance to win. If he did not win at least by now he would have the sympathy or support of PDP forks now that the Oga is after him.

Look at this one, you are amazed. 9.9billion was one transfer in September 2018. The man would have stolen nothing less than 40 Billion Naira in 4 years. All Lagos Governors since Tinubu have been draining the state. The state is generating almost 40 Biliion in monthly IGR. Add federal of about 10b to that. According to reliable source, Tinubu collect 1 Billion every month. So, Governor can take 1 Billion too. After 4 years, that's 48 Billion ($144m). Remember, the will still do indirect stealings like contracts inflation, land acquisitions, etc. When I hear Lagos is working, I pity Lagosians. If only they knew what these guys are stealing.

He went to declare the Tinubu's chosen god-son and Lagos state governor was a patient in a mental home and takes drugs... Then thinks that he would go free?

Ambode, this is not how politicians roll. One does not need to be in politics to know this.
Tinubu and his newly installed Puppet will deal with you.

If Ambode is corrupt = Tinubu is corrupt

It is impossible to implicate Ambode and exonerate Tinubu.
