EFCC Freezes Osun Govt Account, Cites Reasons

The EFCC says it froze the Osun State government’s account to stop alleged looting of public funds during an ongoing investigation into N11 billion.

In a statement on Tuesday, EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale said the Commission has been probing the state since March 2026 over alleged mismanagement of Ecology Funds, Intervention Funds and FAAC allocations.

He said a "Post No Debit" order was placed after the Commission detected suspicious transfers from state accounts to corporate entities from August 2.

Oyewale stated the action was not politically motivated despite the upcoming governorship election, adding that the EFCC is also monitoring other states.

He urged the public to disregard “false narratives” against the Commission.
