A member of the APC Board of Trustees (BoT), Buba Galadima, says the freezing of the bank accounts of #EndSARS promoters is “draconian” and “unconstitutional”.
Galadima stated this during an appearance on Arise TV’s The Morning Show on Monday.
Recall that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on October 20 directed some commercial banks to freeze the accounts of #EndSARS promoters domiciled with them.
The court later obtained a court order backing its decision, after accusing the 20 #EndSARS promoters of suspected terror financing.
Reacting, Galadima accused the administration of deploying military-regime tactics to harass the #EndSARS promoters.

“What the government has done is not right. It has no such right or powers to block bonafide Nigerians from travelling out of the country or from accessing their (bank) accounts. Blocked for what? What have they done?
“These young men were peacefully protesting the actions, omissions or commissions of government.
“Why do you, after you persuaded them or after agents of government allegedly attacked or killed them, follow this draconian disposition of blocking their accounts? That is not constitutional.
“I’m sending this message to Mr President whether he knows or he doesn’t know, let him be shown what I am saying.
“His people have no right to do what they are doing. Please, they should desist and unblock the accounts of these young people and allow them to carry on with their normal activities as Nigerians.
“You cannot harass them, we are in a democracy, we are not in a military regime,” Galadima
