The Department of State Services (DSS) has secured an order from the Federal High Court in Abuja to freeze 20 different bank accounts linked to a suspected female terrorist, Aisha Abdulkarim.
The accounts, domiciled in eight different banks, are to remain frozen for a period of 60 days to enable the secret police to carry out forensic investigations into the alleged acts of terrorism by the bank account operator.
Justice Peter Lifu issued the order for the freezing of the accounts following an ex-parte application brought and argued before him by the DSS.
Also linked with the alleged acts of terrorism are Yehusa Idris and Abdullahi Babayo Umar, who have been taken into custody by the security agency following their arrest in different locations.
The DSS’s ex-parte application was argued by its lawyer, Yunus Ishaku Umar, who informed Justice Lifu that the freezing order was needed by the DSS to enable its investigators to have unhindered access to the eight banks where the accounts are domiciled.
