An Abuja Division of the Federal High Court has rescinded its May 30 order which froze 16 accounts belonging to Patience Jonathan.

Justice Binta Nyako withdrew the order on Tuesday on the grounds that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission which secured the freezing order failed to conduct its investigation into the alleged infractions involving the 16 accounts.

The court’s decision followed an application by the counsel to Mrs. Jonathan asking the court to set aside an ex-parte motion filed by the EFCC for continued control of the accounts.

It was discovered the court had ordered the EFCC to conduct its investigation within 90 days of freezing the accounts in May, but it failed to carry out the said investigation.
