Abia’s Otti freezes all state bank accounts, sacks board executives
Alex Otti, the Abia State Governor, has ordered the immediate freezing of all State bank accounts and those of its agencies domiciled in every bank and financial institution across the state and around the federation, while also dissolved all boards of Abia State government agencies and parastatals in the State.
The governor gave the directive on Monday, in a statement released through his media office and signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Ferdinand Ekeoma.
The directive read in part, “With this notice, all banks and other financial institutions in the country are directed to immediately seize from honouring any cheque, document, instrument or directive of any kind not expressly approved by or emanating from him.
“Similarly, Governor Otti has directed the immediate dissolution of all boards of the Abia State Government agencies and parastatals and subsequently ordered the chief executives of these organisations to hand over to those next in line to them”.
