So all government activities that require funding should stop? No explanation justifies this political victimization!

Brendaniel:
I have said this before, you can use a legal means to do something and still abuse it...

but u agree this is legal right?

Brendaniel:
And you have proof to your claim ?

Are you a kid? Go and read what happened then

Easy as ABC ADELEKE SHOULD SPONSOR PROTEST ON THE DAY OF ELECTION

The rascality of the federal government is getting to new dangerous heights! The current regime in Aso Rock is taking too many liberties. And the worst part is that citizens are clapping for them. This trend portends serious danger.

Politicstoday:
EFCC possess the power to place restriction on any account under S.38(1) of EFCC Act, S.21 of money laundering Act.

EFCC v AG Benue state & Ors (2022) LPELR -58696(CA)

But they leave ekiti account because it's an apc state

EFCC is a tools the government of the day uses to check-mate it opposition opponent, those who are not aligning with the government. so if you believe EFCC, at your own foolishness.

If Osun state was annAPC state, would it had been frozen?

Let's tell ourselves the truth....

AMINDA:
This is illegal and unconstitutional. Tinubu spent the greater part of his tenure telling us to hold our governors accountable only to prove that he can actually do so by himself but only when his political dynasty is threatened. Same as the declaration of state of emergency in Rivers and the suspension of governor Fubara. The signs of an emerging Paul Biya is becoming too glaring to deny.

Except tinubu wont handle rorever

BATified2023:
no b u post this thing again?

Can you explain this?
Requires the commission to apply to a court (often ex parte)for an order to freeze ACCOUNT SUSPECTED OF HOLDING CRIME PROCEEDS.

Does a state government account meet this defination?

You that have read it cannot provide the evidence of what you read?

BATified2023:

Is it morally justified ?

Vision101:
You are wrong. Read the EFCC act and Money laundering act.

Pls qoute it,we want to learn.

Brendaniel:
Is it morally justified ?

yes

Once it's legal n constitutionally backed

You're not worth a reply! When you're ready, use google

Brendaniel:

Somebody recently said, "All is fair in politics." When the cardinals challenged him, he unleashed his attack dogs against them.

Now, who was really right?

Freezing a state government's bank account without a valid court order is one of the most brazen assaults on Nigeria's constitutional democracy. If the rule of law can be discarded for political convenience, then democracy itself is under attack.

Why EFCC Froze Osun State's Government Account

The EFCC excuse reads like a child's joke. If they are alarmed about funds movement and believe it may affect their investigation, then the right thing to do is approach the Court for the order to freeze the account. EFCC cannot resort to making themselves the Court in this matter. There action is ultra vires.

It's only in opposition states that they usually notice these movements, why so? Don't governors in the APC also make movements?

Misterone:
You're not worth a reply! When you're ready, use google

Same response you Tinubu supporters give, you are telling me to look for your evidence to back up your own claim, like telling me you have a car but I should go look for the car...

That's how illogical and irrational you people reason...

BATified2023:
yes

It is not morally justified, that's why the law is not perfect, something can be legal under the law and not morally just, like in the western countries, a child can call police to arrest his parents for scolding him/her when he/she does wrong, is it legal? yes, is it morally justified ? No...

So you can use the law legally and not be morally justified, that's what you people are doing with Tinubu...

who cares about your bullshit, so far it's legal all other things can wait

That's why Nigeria is the way it is today, the more you people keep doing this and you want the country to progress the way it should, all because of supremacy ideology...

And you didn't tell the leader whose account you're safe guarding. The Governor was not informed.
Keep deceiving yourselves as if we are all kids.
Nonsense!!

Macphenson:
Is it legal? That's the simple question.

Absolute nonsen

Mandem05:
Wetin you fit do about am?? Nothing!!

Account suspected of holding crime proceeds.

This is subject to varied interpretation. Some authorities stated that it includes accounts suspected to have movements that suggest crime. This captures inflow and outflow. It's more reflective of the minds of the makers of the law.

On the above note, yes a state government account can meet the definition.

Anyway, if this is how it is, the commission is right. I hope it is investigating APC controlled states also.
Has the commission ever investigated Lagos state?

The gov has to engage an auditing firm. If Osun governor did not, the secret would not be out which is why the Osun governor should be praised. Any audit of any state account will most probably produce exactly the same result
