The Federal High Court in Abuja has granted permission to the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) to freeze the bank account of a suspected notorious terrorist, Usman Idris, for upwards of 30 days.
The Federal High Court in Abuja has granted permission to the Defence Intelligence Agency to freeze the bank account of a suspected notorious terrorist, Usman Idris , for upwards of 30 days. The account domiciled at the United Bank for Africa was ordered to be frozen for the period to enable the security agency to carry out forensic investigations into the alleged terror activities of the owner.
However, the judge, after putting several questions to the lawyer, granted the order with a clause that the freezing of the account must not be more than 30 days. The questioning of the lawyer by the judge followed the discovery that the suspected terrorist had been in DIA custody since February 26 this year. In frantic efforts to satisfy the judge, the lawyer revealed that the detainee had continued to make confessions, which had led to the arrest of several other suspects.
