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.”
