Court Freezes Mele Kyari’s Bank Accounts Over Alleged Fraud
The court has frozen the bank accounts of Mele Kyari, former GMD of NNPC, over alleged fraud. Justice Emeka Nwite granted the request by the EFCC to restrain transactions in the accounts pending the conclusion of the investigation into alleged conspiracy, abuse of office, and money laundering.
The EFCC filed an ex parte motion on August 11, 2025, to freeze the accounts controlled by Kyari, citing a petition from a group called Guardian Democracy Rule of Law. The affidavit deposed by an investigator stated that the funds in the accounts were suspected proceeds of unlawful activities.
The court adjourned the matter until September 23 for further investigation. The fate of the frozen funds will depend on the outcome of the probe and any subsequent legal actions the EFCC may take.
