A
day after the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) froze the bank
accounts of Benue State government, the anti-graft agency has replicated the
action in Akwa Ibom.
According
to TheCable, “top official of the government” disclosed this to them on
Wednesday.
The
report quoted the source as saying:
“The governor was shocked when he was
briefed about the development. He has demanded explanation from the EFCC. Our suspicion
is that our big friend who just departed is behind the issue but we will fight
this injustice.”
Freezing
of the accounts comes on the same day the former governor of the state and
current senator representing Akwa Ibom Central Godswill Akpabio dumped the
People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The
EFCC did not respond to queries on the issue and has not released any statement
to that effect.
