Emmanuel Udom, Akwa Ibom Governor
While
former governor Goodwill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom State was decamping to
the All Progressives Congress, the federal might descended on Akwa
Ibom government as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC) on Wednesday froze “all bank accounts” , according to
Akwa Ibom State, the state information commissioner.
According to Premium Times report, the
commissioner, Charles Udoh said state authorities only learnt of the
development today, and there were no prior indications from the
anti-graft agency.
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.
