Suspected Terrorist’s Bank Accounts Frozen in Nigeria

A Federal High Court in Abuja, Nigeria, has frozen 13 bank accounts linked to a suspected terrorist, Henry Okocha. The order was issued following an application by the Department of State Services (DSS), which alleged that Okocha received millions of naira in the accounts, suspected to be proceeds of terrorism. The DSS requested a 90-day freeze to conduct a thorough investigation, but the court reduced the period to 60 days. The accounts are held in seven different banks, including First Bank of Nigeria, Guaranty Trust Bank, and United Bank for Africa. The DSS has confirmed that Okocha is currently in custody pending further investigations.
