Federal High Court Transfers EFCC's Suit Freezing Kyari's Bank Accounts; Investigation Ongoing
The Federal High Court has transferred the EFCC's suit freezing the bank accounts of Abba Kyari, a suspended police officer, to allow the agency time to conclude its investigation. The court granted the EFCC's motion to temporarily freeze four Jaiz Bank accounts linked to Kyari, who is being investigated for conspiracy, abuse of office, and money laundering.
The accounts include those under the names Mele Kyari, Guwori Community Dev Fund, and Guwori Community Development Foundation Flood Relief. The EFCC's application cited misappropriation of funds and criminal breach of trust as grounds for the freezing order.
The matter has been adjourned to August 19 for a compliance report.
