The bank accounts belonging to the state government were frozen in

what it the EFCC then called a precautionary measure to safeguard the state treasury amidst evidence of looting uncovered by its operatives

The EFCC said at the time that its investigation was triggered by petitions alleging massive looting of the treasury by the governor and his cronies through an illegal department called Special Programme and Project Units, SPPU, which engaged in over invoicing and inflation of contract.
