INTERIM ORDER OF FORFEITURE OF MONEY IN ALL BANKS IS ILLEGAL
I’ve received the certified true copy of the interim orders of the federal high court, coral Dimgba, J., granting various interim orders in favour fo the federal government of Nigeria, against all accounts in all banks that have no BVN. The said orders were said to have been granted at the behest of the Honorable Attorney-General of the Federation.
I am very well concerned about how we deploy interim orders for permanent purposes, such as to forfeit valuable assets, without any or fair hearing from the person(s) concerned.
I think it is improper to obtain interim orders to freeze bank accounts of estates that are in dispute between the beneficiaries, of estates of deceased persons that are still being contested, of profits of companies that are still subject to litigation or other disputes, just to mention a few examples of the arbitrariness of these orders.
There is nothing in section 3 of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act 2011, that makes BVN a condition precedent for operating a bank account in Nigeria. Nothing at all. What the law requires is verifiable identity of the customer, such as name, address, photographs, identity cards, etc. BVN is policy decision of the Central Bank of Nigeria and a court of law should not based its orders on executive policies that are not backed by law.
I get truly worried with the way we adopt ex-parte applications to determine very serious and weighty issues of law.
The other point is the bindingness of an ex-parte Order upon the whole world and upon all millions of bank customers in Nigeria, who are not directly parties to the suit. How proper is it, for a court to seek to determine the rights of parties in their absence, in view of the clear provisions of section 36(1) of the 1999 Constitution and Article 7 of the African Charter.
Why this desperation, if one may ask? I support that money suspected to be proceeds of crime should be traced, isolated and forfeited, if the owner cannot successfully account for it. But to proceed to seek to forfeit all monies in all banks meant for all customers in Nigeria, on the ground of absence of BVN is manifestly illegal.
I therefore humbly urge the Honorable Attorney-General of the federation to review this case with a view to tempering the tenor of these rather outlandish orders.
The quest to scoop revenue for government should not be at the detriment of the constitutional and fundamental rights of the citizens. Which is why I have been praying that these orders are not real, but rather one of the usual social media gimmicks.
As it is said, take away your prosperity, take away your kindness and goodwill, but by all means just give me my rights and my freedoms.
Thank you all.

Buhari to Osinbajo: am sure you can not have any doubt about this.
Osinbajo to Buhari: yes sir... the ict4change programme was hijacked.

Ballmer:
Not good enough but a lot beta than Jonathan's reaction when he was told Abba Moro slaughtered 100's of your corp members after defrauding them. This is still a lot beta than Ebele's reaction after learning of Oduahgate, Allison jet scandal n many more. This is the beauty of opposition politics Buhari now understand he will not be getting APC presidential ticket on a platter the exigency to shore up his nauseating lackadaisical image.

I pity you son. God help you.
