Justice Nwite directed the banks to “issue details of the account package(s) and to place a Post-No-Debit (PND) on the accounts, disable the ATM while allowing inflow into the said accounts as from the date of this court order.”
The IGP, in the application, listed PA.LIN.HO Global Service Ltd, Innocent Angel Lovet Chinyere Nkiru, Obidient Movement Multipurpose Cooperative Society, Innocent Angel Lovet, and Great Communicators Champion Multipurpose Cooperative Society Ltd as the first to fifth respondents, respectively.
Others include Great Communicators Champion Multipurpose Cooperative Society Ltd, Opaluwa Eleojo Bob-Simon, NUEE state chapter, Adeyemi Abiodun Abayomi, Adaramoye Michael Tobiloba, and Popoola Festus as sixth to 11th respondents, respectively.
IGP’s counsel Mohammed argued that the accounts contained in the schedule “are subject to investigation and are reasonably suspected to be warehousing proceeds of unlawful activities or fraud.”
Detective Gregory Woji from the Force Criminal Investigation Department, in an affidavit supporting the motion, stated that “preliminary investigation revealed that some suspects arrested were being recruited by some financiers to cause mayhem and destroy life and property.”
“The intelligence report gathered so far reveals that the suspects are making an effort to transfer or withdraw money from the accounts, and unless this honourable court grants this order, otherwise, the investigation will be jeopardised,” Woji added.
