OSOGBO – 05/08/2026 – osunstate.gov.ng

Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke has raised an alarm over credible reports that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has concluded plans to freeze all Osun State government accounts.

In a statement issued on Tuesday evening at Osogbo, the governor said the EFCC is also reportedly planning to freeze accounts of all top government functionaries.

The governor who said such a plan, if true, amounts to the height of lawlessness, said the plot to freeze the state government accounts is meant to paralyze government activities ahead of the August 15th governorship election.

The governor affirmed that there is no legal basis or justification for any push to freeze the state government accounts, declaring that the anti-graft agency has no legal powers to freeze the account of a state government.
