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
