The Department of State Services (DSS) has obtained a Federal High Court order to freeze 13 bank accounts linked to Henry Okocha, a suspected terrorist.
These accounts, spread across seven banks, will remain frozen for 60 days to allow for forensic investigations into the suspected terrorism-related funds.
The ruling, made by Justice Peter Lifu, was based on an ex-parte application by DSS lawyer Yunus Ishaku Umar, who argued that the freezing order was necessary to prevent misuse of the funds and to facilitate the investigation.
The application was made under the Terrorism Prevention and Prohibition Act 2022.
