The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has denied reports that they froze the accounts of Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka.
There were media reports yesterday that Fr Mbaka had claimed during his
sermon on Wednesday March 25th that the EFCC had frozen his
bank accounts and that he was invited to their Port Harcourt office for
questioning. He supposedly said he went to the bank on Tuesday March
24th
to cash some money to buy foodstuff for the poor who had just returned
to
Enugu from the North and the cheque he presented was
rejected.
EFCC
Spokesperson Wilson Uwujaren released a statement late yesterday denying that the
agency froze his account. See the statement after the cut.."The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,EFCC has been drawn to reports in a section of the media claiming that the Commission had frozen the accounts of Enugu-based Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka of the Adoration Mass fame. The commission wishes to state that there is no truth in the report and should be discountenanced.” the statement read
