The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) wrote to the respective banks not to allow Opuni access to his money just a day after a court ordered accounts to be released.
The banks involved Standard Chartered Bank and the Opeibea House branch of Ecobank.
The High court presided over by Georgina Mensah-Datsa while dismissing the application said EOCO has the duty to protect state funds.
