The bank accounts of suspects being tried in court over allegations of
corruption by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and
whose names appear on the looters list released by the Federal
government earlier this year, have been allegedly frozen on the orders
of the Federal government. This is according to a report by
TheCable. The embargo placed on the accounts is part of
the implementation of the Executive Order No. 6 on the “preservation of
suspicious assets connected with corruption and other relevant offences”
signed by President Buhari in October 2018.A former Minister who
confirmed this development, said he tried to withdraw money from his
account recently but couldn't.“I issued a cheque of N250,000 to a friend
and it was turned down. When I called my account officer, he invited me
for a meeting, where I was told there is a ‘post no debit’ instruction
on all my accounts because of the executive order. They told me I am not
the only one affected. All persons undergoing trial are affected.” a
former Minister whose name is on the looters list told TheCableRecall
that on Tuesday November 27th, former PDP spokesperson, Olisa Metuh,
told a court in Abuja that he has not been able to access his account as
the EFCC has placed an embargo on it. Metuh is among the list of
Nigerians on the looters list.On March 30th, Minister of Information,
Lai Mohammed, released the looters list following a challenge from Kola
Ologbondiyan, spokesman of the PDP.“The PDP has challenged us to name
the looters under their watch. They said they did not loot the treasury.
Well, I am sure they know that the treasury was looted dry under their
watch. Yet they decided to grandstand. This shows the hollowness of
their apology. This list is just a tip of the iceberg, and the PDP is
aware of this. We did not make these cases up. Many of these cases are
in court and the records are available.” Lai Mohammed had said shortly
after releasing the listAmong those listed were Sambo Dasuki, former
national security adviser; Dieziani Alison-Madukwe, former minister of
petroleum resources; Kenneth Minimah, former chief of army staff; Alex
Badeh, former chief of defence staff; Inde Dikko, former
comptroller-general of customs; and Bala Mohammed, former minister of
the federal capital territory (FCT).Others are Stella Oduah, a serving
senator; Babangida Aliyu, former Niger State governor; Jonah Jang,
former Plateau governor; Nenadi Usman, former minister of finance;
Bashir Yuguda, former minister of state for finance; Femi Fani-Kayode,
former minister of aviation; Raymond Dokpesi, founder of DAAR
Communications and Uche Secondus, national chairman of the PDP. FG freezes bank accounts of suspects on ˜looters list
