</div><a name="_heading=h.gjdgxs"></a>The applicant herein argued in his motion
filed on 18/10/13 that his accounts frozen by the respondent be defrozen as
such are not tainted. The applicant James Addo says he is a pensioner and a
lotto receiver&nbsp; when the applicant filed
the K. Y. C form at First Capital Plus he indicated he is a lotto receiver and
his monthly income is GH¢600 and rents the apartment he is living in.<o:p></o:p>Checks were conducted by
the respondent from National Lottery Authority and on the 22/10/13 the
lotteries replied that, applicant is unknown to them in their records.<o:p></o:p>The affidavit in
opposition, paragraph 22, the respondent deposed that, when First Capital Plus
questioned the applicant about the inflows were inconsistent with what he
stated, applicant said they were winnings from his customers but failed to
provide any documentary evidence to prove the contrary.<o:p></o:p>The applicant had the
opportunity to react to this deposition in his supplementary affidavit in
opposition. In his paragraph 14, the applicant deposed as follows:<o:p></o:p>“That I am not in a
position to deny or admit paragraphs 20-24 of the respondent affidavit in
opposition”.<o:p></o:p>If one take a look at
paragraph 20-24 of the respondent’s affidavit in opposition, it will be seen
that, they contained serious issues which the applicant should deny or admit
for the statement “I am not in a position to admit or deny” – such averments
can be described as evasive.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The respondent argued that the applicant
maintain two accounts and quoted such as 2030026199112 and 1961026199114. The
applicant says he is not in a position to deny or admit. Again, the respondent
deposed that between March 2010 to May 2011 only GH¢420.00 was in the account
which became inactive between July 2011 and December 2011. That from January
2012 to June 2013 the depositions amounted to Gh¢29,810.00 which cash
deposition range from Gh¢850,00 to Gh¢14,000.00. To this the applicant again
deposed that he is not in a position to admit or deny such.<o:p></o:p>To conclude, I find that
these accounts of the applicant are suspicious. He has not been able to prove
to this court the sources. I hereby seize these monies. I hereby refuse the
application to defreeze.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
