The Supreme Court on Friday declined a request on it by family members of the late Head of state, General Dani Abacha to Unfreeze accounts belonging to them in foreign countries.
Unfortunately their request both at the trial court and Court of Appeal was turned down, forcing them to approach the final court in the country for justice.panel of the Supreme Court upheld the decisions of the two lower courts on grounds that the matter had become statute barred. In the judgment read by Justice Amina Augie, the apex court held that, “In all forms, with the eloquent submission of the respondents’ counsel, and submissions anchored on the admitted evidence, I have no hesitation in affirming the concurrent decisions of the lower courts.
According to court documents, the then President, Olusegun Obasanjo, in December 1999, authorized the then AGF, Agabi to request the Swiss authorities to freeze all bank accounts held in its jurisdiction by the late Head of State, General Abacha, his children, servants, agents and any other individuals or companies linked to them between 1993 and 1998.
