Efcc leave Yaya Bello the white lion and be chasing small mouse?

I agree with them on this. People who do not have brains should be protected by being placed in Jail for a while to rehabilitate them as ex-convicts.

The quest for social media fame notoriety just to get "followers" is the new mental illness.

Alapereketu:

Alapereketu:

Macphenson:
Peter Obi did not carry billion vans into his house on the eve of election, they should arrest the bullion van thief first.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has withdrawn the alleged money laundering suit it filed at the Federal High Court against Lagos Speaker Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa.

Naija News understands that the anti-graft did not give any particular reason for its application for withdrawal.

Following the application to withdraw, Justice Nicholas Oweibo discharged the ‘lien/Post No Debit’ placed on Obasa’s three accounts in Standard Chartered Bank.

The accounts are (US Dollars) 0001852063; (Current) 0001852056 and (Saving) 5002309624.

The judge also set aside the ex-parte orders he made on September 15, 2020, which led to the freezing of the accounts.

Recall that the court on September 15, 2020, granted an interim order freezing Obasa’s accounts following the EFCC’s application in a suit marked FHC/LCS/1064/2020.

The agency had said it was investigating the Speaker for the alleged offences of conspiracy, diversion of funds, abuse of office and money laundering.

But Justice Oweibo, on August 16, 2023, heard the application to unfreeze the accounts in his chamber.

During the hearing, the EFCC was represented by Mr. Sulaiman I. Sulaiman, while Obasa was represented by Mr. Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika (SAN).

The EFCC lawyer told the court that the application to unfreeze the accounts was pursuant to Section 44(2)(K) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) and Sections 26, 29 and 34 (1) of the EFCC (Establishment) Act, 2004, and under the court’s inherent jurisdiction.

Section 44 of the Constitution concerns constitutional rights to property.

Justice Oweibo held: “It is hereby ordered that an order is hereby granted to the respondent/applicant setting aside the ex-parte orders of this court made on the 15th day of September 2020 upon the ex-parte motion of the Applicant/ Respondent in relation the funds of the Respondent/Applicant domiciled in the accounts stated in the following schedule:

“ACCOUNT NAME, FINANCIAL ACCOUNT INSTITUTIONS, TYPE OF ACCOUNT, 1. Mudasiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered, (US Dollars) 0001852063 2. Mudasiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered (Current) 0001852056 3. Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered (Saving) 5002309624.

“Issued at Lagos, under the seal of this Honourable Court and by the hands of the Presiding Judge this 16th day of August 2023.”

Recall that last month, Kannywood actress Samha Inuwa was also arrested for mutilating the Naira by using 1000 notes to clean her nose.

Criminals, terrorists and bandits display this same naira collected as ransom on internet videos but efcc is unable to trace them..well, they’ll claim it's not mutilation ...na wa o.

Heffalump:
Do you understand the money laundering act? There's certain amount of money you must not carry as a person. It's only in Africa that there's abuse of this law.
During GEJ tenure, a private jet belonging to a certain man of God in Nigeria, Ayo Oritsejafor was loaded with raw cash in dollars and was seized in South Africa. Guess what, It was considered as not following protocol and due process, even though it was later confirmed that the cash was meant for Arms purchase in tackling Boko Haram menace in the country.
