Former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and 2019 presidential candidate Prof. Kingsley Moghalu has commended the order from the Federal High Court in Abuja to unfreeze the accounts of #ENDSARS protesters.

The Central Bank initially said the accounts had been frozen because it was investigating their owners.

In a statement, the political economist stated, ” I welcome the decision of the Federal High Court in Abuja, which ordered the Central Bank of Nigeria to unfreeze the bank accounts of 20 #EndSARS protesters frozen late last year following youth protests against police brutality.

“It is also a positive development that the CBN and the 20 defendants reached an amicable decision to end the legal dispute.
