</div>This application for defreezing of the
account of Philip Mensah will be refused because it is too premature.&nbsp; The police are yet to even delve into any
meaningful investigations.&nbsp; Exhibit “D” speaks for itself.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;<a name="_heading=h.gjdgxs"></a>I do not think this Court
will make any orders to interfere in the investigations by the intelligence
authorities.&nbsp; The amount sought to be
defrozen, I will rather exercise my discretion and rather freeze the account to
enable the agencies involved in investigations to complete their work and
possibly charge Philip Mensah or come back to Court for a defreeze.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;Application refused.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;
