were necessary for investigations to be conducted by the respondents.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The Applicants
have now filed for a defreeze of his accounts since the mandatory and statutory
period had elapsed.&nbsp; There is no record
that, the respondent had come for any extension of time to further conduct
investigations into the activities of applicant herein.&nbsp; The respondent could even come under Section
24 (3) of Act 804 for a continuous seizure by asking for a seizure from the
Court to preserve the monies until further directives.&nbsp; This am sorry to say the respondent did not
do.&nbsp; They sat down until the statutory
period had elapsed.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;
