</div>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>&nbsp;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>&nbsp;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>
