CBN lifts ban on Bamboo, Nairabet, AbokiFX, 437 accounts

The apex bank also instructed banks to notify the concerned customers of the development.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has instructed banks to remove the post-no-debit restriction placed on the bank accounts of 440 individuals and companies.

A post-no-debit is a restriction placed on an account to stop the account holders from carrying out debit transactions, including ATMs and cheques, but the accounts can receive inflows.

The CBN announced this in a circular signed by A.M. Barau on behalf of the CBN director of banking supervision on Tuesday, July 26, 2023.

The apex bank also instructed banks to notify the concerned customers of the development.

Some of the companies on the restriction list include Bamboo Systems Technology Limited, Escale Oil & Gas Limited, Rise Vest Technologies Limited, Chaka Technologies Limited, abokiFX Limited, Nairabet International, Northwood Energy Services and Proport Marine Limited.

The circular reads, “You are hereby directed to vacate the Post-No-Debit restriction placed on the accounts of the under-listed bank customers at our instance.

“You are also required to inform the concerned customers of the vacation accordingly.”

It would be recalled that the affected accounts were frozen in 2012 after the federal high court in Abuja granted the CBN’s request to freeze accounts of some fintech companies for 180 days.

The CBN claimed it was investigating ‘illegal foreign exchange transactions’ by the fintech companies.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is steadfast in its demand for the death certificate of the late Grace Tiaga, a former director of legal services at the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, to be submitted in court. Tiaga faced charges brought by the EFCC, alleging her involvement in receiving payments from Process & Industrial Development (P&ID) to manipulate the 20-year gas supply and processing agreement (GSPA) against Nigeria. The EFCC claims that these illicit payments were made through her daughter and persisted even after her retirement. The accusations extend to Tiaga's purported failure to adhere to due process while providing legal counsel on the GSPA. Initially facing eight counts of fraud, she was remanded to Suleja prison in 2019, later granted bail, and the charges were expanded to 13 counts. As the trial progressed, the prosecution p...
