BREAKING: Tinubu orders EFCC to unfreeze Osun govt account
President Bola Tinubu has directed the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to withdraw the court order freezing an account belonging to the Osun State Government.
In a statement personally signed on Thursday, the President said he was “deeply embarrassed” by the development, stressing that his concern was not with the EFCC carrying out its lawful responsibilities under a court order, but with the timing of the action.
“Accordingly, I have directed the EFCC to immediately proceed to the court to vacate the order and discontinue whatever action it has instituted against the Osun State Government in this regard,” Tinubu said in the statement.
Tinubu noted that while the anti-graft agency has a duty to investigate alleged financial crimes, the decision to freeze the state’s account at this particular time was inappropriate and has therefore instructed the commission to take immediate steps to lift the restriction.
