Court limits ICPC's authority to freeze bank accounts
Federal High Court in Abuja has ruled that the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) can freeze suspicious bank accounts for a maximum period of 72 hours, saying that allowing the commission to freeze accounts for up to one year, as provided by the ICPC Act, is “totally unreasonable and usurps the powers of the court”.
