BREAKING: Court unfreezes accounts of End SARS promoters
A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered that the frozen accounts of some promoters of the EndSARS protests be unfrozen immediately.
The order was given to all affected banks by Justice Ahmed Mohammed in a ruling on Wednesday.
The suit filed by the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) marked FHC/ABJ/CS/1384/2020 was also struck out by the judge.
It was gathered that this followed the withdrawal of all processes filed in relation to the suit by lawyers to all parties.
It would be recalled that the ex-parte order to freeze the accounts for 180 days was made on November 4, 2020.
Lawyers to the parties, namely former Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Michael Aondoakaa (SAN), who appeared for the CBN Governor and Mr. Femi Falana (SAN), who appeared for those affected by the freezing order resolved to withdraw all the processes filed.
They said this was to allow for reconciliation at the various panels of enquiry on police brutality across the nation.
