Court documents confirm CBN froze bank accounts of Rinu, Pamilerin, Gatefield, 17 other #EndSARS champions

The Central Bank of Nigeria obtained a federal court order to freeze 20 bank accounts linked to supporters of the #EndSARS campaign last month, court document obtained by Peoples Gazette showed.

Governor Godwin Emefiele filed an ex-parte court application to freeze the account on October 20, which was promptly granted by Justice Ahmed Mohammed of the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court.

Former attorney-general Michael Aondoakaa argued the case for the freezing of the accounts on behalf of CBN, documents showed.

The bank accounts blocked included those run by Gatefield, a public interest think-tank, and Bassey Israel, a pharmacist. Gatefield has already filed a lawsuit challenging the freezing of its account.

The banks that were ordered to freeze bank accounts of the #EndSARS champions included Access Bank, Fidelity, First Bank, GTB, Zenith and UBA.

There have been complaints from Nigerians that their bank accounts were frozen in relation to their roles in the #EndSARS campaign, with CBN being mentioned as the main culprit of the punitive measure.
The CBN has repeatedly denied involvement in the freezing of bank accounts of #EndSARS protesters.

list of the traitors of the country

The government need to add more names

to the wailers and keyboard warriors - Abuse wetin concern me, una go tire

By your calculations, Buhari, Wole Soyinka, Adams Oshiomole, John Oyegun and many other Nigerians in GEJ era are traitors

We need to ask GEJ, how he managed to stay cool without oppressing Nigerians even Bullhari was free to express his opinions under GEJ

Otondo

Goodluck was a weak president.

Between these names you mentioned didnt go about destroying and burning down the cities they live in

But Buhari & co enjoyed that weak president

So he's weak for not jailing Buhari or freezing Buhari's account

Btw, Were the accounts freezed because the account holders burnt properties

There's no way you can defend this tyranny nah

Haba! Say the truth for once, you will not die!!!

Miracle2020:
the soldiers that were killed by those terrorists, are they not human being? Kanu gave them order to kill soldiers and they begin to enforce the order now you don't want soldiers to defend themselves.
From now onwards if we lose one soldier,we will use one thousand lives of those terrorists to pay for one soldier.
We have been patient with those ipob terrorists for long, now if you do anyhow you will see anyhow.

Na inferiority complex dey disturb you and Buhari

What have you done to the Bokoharam killing soldiers as if they are slaughtering cow

Officialgarri:
The accounts were frozen because at the time of the protest, certain accounts received sum of money which to the knowledge of the Secret Service, and thorough investigations, were meant to keep the protest going on even after the demands were being met.

You might not find this info elsewhere.... But that is it.

Also, it might get to a stage where it becomes necessary for the above-named people to proof their innocence in their association with some 'chief land border smugglers' who formed part of the major sponsors of the #endsars hoodlums who had no other aim but to force the border securities to flee their posts and they would operate freely.
