Two Nigerians suspected to enjoy the backing of a powerful Kenyan politician and two Kenyans have been linked to Sh5.6 billion frozen in six bank accounts over alleged money laundering.

The billions in the accounts in Equity Bank #ticker:EQTY and UBA Bank were frozen by the High Court after the Assets Recovery Agency (ARA) applied to block the transfer or withdrawal, pending the filing of a petition to have the money forfeited to the government.
