The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has allegedly frozen the bank accounts of the Akwa Ibom State Government.
Famzn News understands that the anti-corruption agency gave the order on Wednesday.
It was gathered that Governor Udom Emmanuel and the Accountant-General of the state were shocked by the development.
“The governor was shocked when he was briefed about the development.
“He has demanded explanation from the EFCC. Our suspicion is that our big friend who just departed is behind the issue but we will fight this injustice,” a source told the Cable.
The report of the freezing of Akwa Ibom government accounts happened 24 hours after the commission also blocked Benue government accounts.
It also incidentally happened a day the former governor of the state, Senator Goodswill Akpabio, resigned as the Senate minority leader and the day he decamped from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
