Di court case dey come after President Bola Tinubu on Thursday direct di anti-graft agency to vacate di court order dem get to freeze di account.

Peter Obi and Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde don also tok about di matter. Obi say di timing dey suspicious as e happun for period wen election wan happun, and e dey call on all relevant authorities to act strictly within di constitution. Makinde for im X post condemn di use of federal institutions to disrupt governance for opposition states, e say di "freezing" of official state government account witout due legal process pass di powers wey law give EFCC.
EFCC for dia own statement say dem don dey investigate Osun since March ontop alleged fraud wey relate to 11 billion naira for Ecology Funds, Intervention Funds and FAAC account.
