In a decisive move to curb escalating threats of violence, the court has ordered the freezing of several bank accounts allegedly tied to suspects involved in financing mayhem and destruction. The affected accounts include:
– Sparkle Microfinance Bank Ltd: 3434649965
– Fairmoney Microfinance Bank: 2013556714
– KUDA Microfinance Bank: 3104962864
– Polaris Bank: 6112464267
– Branch International Finance Services Ltd: 8137051249
– OPAY: 8137051249
– PALMPAY: 8137051249
The directive came after Detective Gregory Woji filed an affidavit in support of an ex-parte motion, where he disclosed alarming findings from a preliminary investigation. According to Woji, some of the arrested suspects were found to have been recruited by financiers with the intent to incite chaos and destruction of lives and property. He further revealed that foreign nationals were allegedly part of this nefarious scheme.
Woji stated, “Preliminary investigations revealed that some of the suspects arrested were being recruited by financiers to cause mayhem and destroy lives and property. It is in the interest of justice to grant this request by freezing the accounts of the suspects and ordering their immediate arrest upon sighting them, pending the outcome of the investigation and possible prosecution.”
The court’s decision to freeze the accounts is aimed at preventing further financial support for these unlawful activities and ensuring that the suspects are brought to justice. The investigation remains ongoing, with authorities intensifying efforts to track down all those involved and dismantle the network responsible for these crimes.
