A top official of the government disclosed this to TheCable on Wednesday.
The source said Udom Emmanuel, the governor, and accountant-general of the
state were shocked by the development.
“The governor was shocked when he was briefed about the development,” the
source said.
“He has demanded explanation from the EFCC. Our suspicion is that our big
friend who just departed is behind the issue but we will fight this
injustice.”
The report of the freezing of Akwa Ibom government accounts happened 24
hours after the commission blocked those of Benue government.
Wilson Uwujaren, spokesman of the anti-graft agency, did not respond to
inquiries by TheCable.
