EFCC denies freezing Father Mbaka's accounts

The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC, has denied reports that they froze the accounts of Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka.
There were media reports yesterday
that Fr Mbaka had claimed during his sermon on Wednesday March 25th that the EFCC had frozen his bank accounts and that he was invited to their Port
Harcourt office fo
r questioning. He
supposedly said he went to the bank on Tuesday March 24th to cash some money to buy foodstuff for the poor who had just returned to Enugu from the North and the cheque he presented was rejected.
EFCC Spokesperson Wilson Uwujaren
released a statement late yesterday
denying that the agency froze his
account. See the statement after the

drawn to reports in a section of
the media claiming that the

the Adoration Mass fame. The
commission wishes to state that
there is no truth in the report
and should be
discountenanced.” the
