Akwa Ibom State Commissioner for Information Charles Udoh has just disclosed on Wednesday that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has frozen “all bank accounts” owned by Akwa Ibom State.
Charles Udoh said state authorities only learnt of the development today, and there were no prior indications from the anti-graft agency.
Meanwhile, efforts to get comment on phone calls and text messages from the EFCC Spokesperson prove abortive.

Mr Udoh said more information would be provided to Nigerians about the development shortly.
It came a day after Governor Samuel Ortom raised an alarm that the EFCC has frozen the state’s bank accounts, trapping workers and pensioners’ salaries in a state beset by hardship following months of deadly attacks by suspected herdsmen.
