A Federal High Court in Abuja has granted an ex parte application by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to freeze 24 bank accounts allegedly linked to terrorism financing.

The presiding judge, Emeka Nwite, granted the order following an application by EFCC counsel, Ekele Iheanacho.

Iheanacho told the court that the bank accounts, which belong to Lawrence Lucky Eromosele, are being investigated for money laundering and terrorism financing.

“The funds in the bank accounts are to be protected pending the conclusion of the investigation,” Iheanacho said.

The EFCC investigator, Mohammed Khalil, stated in an affidavit that the NSA directed a team to investigate a syndicate threatening the lives of senior operatives.

Khalil said the team identified bank accounts linked to the individuals making the threats, adding that “proceeds of crimes and funds for terrorist activities are covertly exchanged through these platforms.”

The judge adjourned the matter to March 24, 2025, for mention.
