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
for 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.

"The attention of the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission,EFCC has
been drawn to reports in a section of the
media claiming that the Commission had
frozen the accounts of Enugu-based
Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka of the
Adoration Mass fame. The commission
wishes to state that there is no truth in the
report and should be discountenanced.”
