The bank accounts of people believed to be close to former President Goodluck Jonathan have been frozen, according to a report in Sunday Punch.

Those affected, the newspaper reported, include the Keketobou Foundation, said to be owned by Kingsley Kuku (pictured), former special adviser to Jonathan on Niger Delta and coordinator of the amnesty programme.

Also affected are Mieka Divers Limited and Global West Vessels Limited reportedly owned by ex-militant, Government Ekpompolo, better known as Tompolo.

One of Jonathan’s close allies, Kime Engozi, was also reportedly affected.

Engozi is the contractor handling the N30 billion maritime university contract at Okerenkoko in Gbaramatu, Delta state.

Funds released for the commencement of works are said to have been frozen at a Yenagoa branch of UBA.

Jonathan was recently quoted by Matthew Kukah, Catholic bishop of the Sokoto diocese, as complaining that people perceived to be his associates are being unfairly targeted by Buhari.
