The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has reportedly frozen a bank account belonging to the Osun State Government, just 10 days before the state's governorship election scheduled for August 15.

According to reports, the affected account is domiciled with First Bank. The development has sparked fresh political controversy amid the heightened tension surrounding the forthcoming off-cycle governorship poll.

The action comes barely 24 hours after Governor Ademola Adeleke alleged that the anti-graft agency was planning to freeze the accounts of the Osun State Government and some top government officials in an attempt to disrupt the administration ahead of the election.

While details surrounding the reason for the account freeze remain unclear, the move has generated widespread reactions from political stakeholders and observers, with many questioning its timing so close to the election.

As of the time of filing this report, the EFCC had not issued an official statement explaining the basis for freezing the account or responding to the allegations raised by the Osun State Government.

The development is expected to intensify political debate in the state as parties prepare for the August 15 governorship election, with analysts closely watching the implications for governance and the electoral process.

This is a developing story, and further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
