Entertainment: Nigerians Reacts To EFCC Freezing Davido's Account.

Everything you need to live well

As the 2019 general elections are fast approaching, politicians who are vying for office have become subject to the Economic Crimes Commission (EFCC)’s scrutiny.

The EFCC is charged with the responsibility of investigating financial crimes such as advance fee fraud (419) and money laundering. Therefore, politicians who are found guilty of financial crimes are convicted.

In a recent development, Senator Ademola Adeleke, Davido’s uncle who is currently contesting for Osun governor under People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has allegedly had his account frozen by the EFCC. Davido’s account, his billionaire father’s as well as five other accounts were reportedly affected by this act. The information has surfaced a week to the Osun state governorship election:

BREAKING NEWS:

EFCC freezes 7 different bank account of the Adeleke family (@IsiakaAdeleke1 PDP gubernatorial Candidate’s family) including that of @iam_Davido and his multi billionaire dad.

On the other hand, PMB releases N16B to @raufaregbesola to rig election. pic.twitter.com/RyUQ2Z1tOL

He, however, responded to the allegation without explictly stating that it was seized:

Nigerians who have heard the news have been reacting to the news:

.@IsiakaAdeleke1 and @iam_Davido's accounts was never frozen by @officialEFCC
Davido is free to support his uncle and also free to campaign for and have series of concerts for @OfficialPDPNig but please don't resort to political lies. Your fan base spread accros all sides.

The freezing of our Guber Candidate account @IsiakaAdeleke1 is oppressive, tyrannical, provocative and a direct recipe for crisis in the state, given that the people of Osun are solidly behind Senator Adeleke ahead of the election. pic.twitter.com/Yr6TYrrnoB

In addition, we direct our members, including state governors, officials at zonal and state chapters, national and states assembly members, all presidential and governorship aspirants to immediately commence movement into Osun state to campaign in support of our Candidate pic.twitter.com/YYoA0Odtrt

The freezing of the Adelekes' accounts by an agency of the @OfficialAPCNg-led Federal Government, a week to the governorship election, underscores the fact that the APC is mortally afraid of our candidate and has been seeking ways to undermine his electoral fortunes. pic.twitter.com/pCDhnTLpaB
