After a lot of cries and anticipation,the Central Bank of Nigeria,(CBN) has finally been ordered by a Federal High Court in Abuja to unfreeze the accounts of 20 #EndSARS protesters.
The accounts were the main focus by the CBN in 2020 to cripple the activism of the #EndSARS protesters which asked for an end to police brutality and bad governance in the country.
The order was issued by the judge, Ahmed Mohammed, on Wednesday following the agreement by the legal teams of the CBN and the defendants to end the case.
The judge commended the two lawyers for their “commitment to ensure justice” after they announced their decision to withdraw all pending applications and the entire suit.
“In the light of this, the ex parte order issued on November 4, 2022 freezing the accounts of the defendants pending the investigation by the Central Bank of Nigeria is here by set aside.
“An order is also made unfreezing the accounts of the defendants,” Mr Mohammed ruled on Wednesday.
