 The Chief Judge of the Federal High Court Justice John Soho on Tuesday in Aboja issued an order on freezing the bank account of the chairman of direct communications, PLC Mr Raymond Dokpesee. Justice Soho gave the order while delivering a ruling on Dokpesee's application argued by Mr Kano Agbabi S.A.N. The judge ordered that the account domicile at first bank be immediately unfrozen since the criminal charges which precipitated the restriction on the account had been dismissed and Dokpesee discharged and acquitted by the Court of Appeal. The judge said that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, had no basis to put a post no debit order on the account in view of the subsistence and valid judgment of the Court of Appeal. He held that there was no application by the EFCC for stay of execution of the Appellate Court's judgment which courted the criminal charges against Dokpesee. Justice Soho said that in absence of a stay of execution, the court was bound by law to recognize the judgment of the Appellate Court.
