Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has directed the state Attorney-General to challenge in court the freezing of a state government account by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The governor gave the directive following the restriction placed on an Osun State Government account domiciled with First Bank by the anti-graft agency.
Adeleke, while addressing journalists at the Government House, Osogbo, described the action as a breach of the rule of law and demanded an explanation from the EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, on the reason behind the decision.
He called on Nigerians and residents of Osun State to pay attention to the development, describing it as a matter of public concern.
