Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice John Tsoho, had directed the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to unfreeze the bank account of the chairman of DAAR Communications Plc, Raymond Dokpesi
Justice Tsoho gave the order yesterday in Abuja when he ruled on Dokpesi’s application through his counsel, Mr Kanu Agabi .
The judge ordered that the account domiciled at First Bank be immediately “unfrozen” since the criminal charges which precipitated the restriction on the account had been dismissed and Dokpesi discharged and acquitted by the Court of Appeal.The judge said the EFCC had no basis to put a post no debit order on the account in view of the subsisting and valid judgment of the Court of Appeal.
Justice Tsoho said in the absence of a stay of execution, the court was bound by law to recognise the judgment of the appellate court.
