EFCC loses bid to freeze Fayose’s accounts

Efforts by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to freeze the personal accounts of Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose with the Zenith Bank Plc were rebuffed by the Federal High Court sitting in Ado Ekiti that dismissed the anti-graft agency’s application for “lack of merit”.
The EFCC had on December 15, 2016, filed an application for a stay of execution of the court’s judgement of December 13, last year on the matter that the agency was erred in frozen Fayose’s account with the bank.
Dismissing the application on Tuesday, the presiding judge, Justice Taiwo Taiwo said that the EFCC had already filed an application at the Appeal Court challenging the judgement of the court.
He said that” once a judgment is being executed, you cannot stay the execution again”.
He, therefore, referred to Section 308 of the 1999 Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The judge said that there were no substantial points raised in the affidavit for the court to condemn the judgment already delivered by the court.
The Judge, therefore, dismissed the application saying it lacks merit.

Ghana’s only oil refinery shut after explosion

Tema Oil Refinery
Ghana’s only oil refinery, the Tema Oil Refinery, is shut after an explosion at a newly installed 5.8-million-euro crude oil heating unit, a senior union official told Reuters on Friday.
The blast at the crude distillation unit, which caused no casualties, is the latest problem to hit the refinery, which has for decades performed below its capacity of 45,000 barrels per day.
“It was a damper failure. It failed to open to allow heat to escape through the chimney and that led to the explosion,” one source said.
“The new furnace is now scrap,” said a union leader who declined to be identified.
The plant will restart after reconfiguration through a second furnace but output will drop to 30,000 barrels per day, the union leader said.
The state-owned refinery has been dogged by underinvestment, lack of maintenance and debt, which has caused it to perform below capacity.
The new government of President Nana Akufo-Addo said in its manifesto that it would expand the refinery.
