This move is part of a N310 million fraud investigation linked to the alleged sale of House No. 4, Plot 2A, Reeve Road, Ikoyi, Lagos.
Justice Emeka Nwite granted the order on Wednesday after the Inspector General of Police’s legal team filed an ex parte motion.
The freeze applies a “post-no-debit” restriction, allowing only funds to flow into the accounts, preventing withdrawals during the investigation.
The affected accounts include those of Dave Kubak Construction, Dave Kubak Energy, and Akinyele Oluseyi Kufeji.
The court’s order follows allegations that the suspects fraudulently obtained the sum from Mr. Ayodeji Oyetunde Faji by misrepresenting the property’s availability.
The Inspector General’s lawyer, Wisdom Madaki Esq., highlighted that Yele Kufeji is the managing director and alter ego of Dave Kubak Construction, while another suspect, Chisom Olisaemeka, falsely presented himself as the property owner.
It was further revealed the property had already been sold to a different buyer prior to this transaction.
Justice Nwite approved the freeze for 60 days, a shorter period than the 90 days requested, emphasizing the importance of the order for the ongoing police investigation.
