The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has unveiled a list of 1,146 bank accounts set to be frozen due to suspected involvement in unauthorized foreign exchange transactions.
The commission had filed a court motion in Abuja, citing money laundering and terrorism financing concerns as grounds for the action.
According to the EFCC, preliminary investigations indicate that these accounts are associated with individuals who exploit virtual cryptocurrency exchanges to manipulate the Naira’s value illegally and launder proceeds from unlawful activities.
Pending further investigation and potential prosecution, the commission seeks to preserve the funds in these accounts.
