An advocate for social justice and promoter of the #EndSARS campaign Rinu Oduala says she is unfazed by the freezing of her bank account by the Central Bank of Nigeria.
Details emerged on Friday that the CBN got a court order freezing the accounts of 20 #EndSARS promoters till January 2021. Ms Oduala’s account was among them.
Oduala, however, said in a tweet on Friday night that her only crime was protesting against police brutality.
“My name is even the first on the list. Such a criminal that I am, that I protested without arms only putting on a white shirt stained red to say the Police should stop killing we youths.
“Freeze my account from today till tomorrow. I no get car. I go trek! #EndSars,” she wrote.
Oduala is representing youths on the Lagos judicial panel on #EndSARS matters. Temitope Majekodunmi is also representing youths.
Others whose accounts were affected are Chima Ibebunjoh, Mary Kpengwa, Gatefield Nigeria Limited, Saadat Bibi, Bassey Israel, Wisdom Obi, Nicholas Osazele, Ebere Idibie, Akintomide Yusuf, Uhuo Promise, Mosopefoluwa Odeseye and Adegoke Emmanuel.
