A Federal High Court in Abuja has issued an order freezing the bank accounts of 32 individuals and companies allegedly linked to the #EndBadGovernance protests that took place across Nigeria.

The court’s ruling, delivered by Justice Emeka Nwite, was in response to an ex-parte motion filed by the Inspector-General of Police’s counsel, Ibrahim Mohammed.

The order also directs banks to arrest and detain account holders or anyone found transacting business on the affected accounts, pending investigation and prosecution, NAN reports.

Mr Nwite, who granted the motion dated and filed on August 20, directed the banks to contact the Nigeria Police Force through the telephone numbers: 08035179870 and 07032449912 as soon as arrest is made.
