Guinea’s military junta has ordered banks to freeze all government-related accounts so as to “secure state assets”.
The junta, which took over control last weekend, says the order affects institutional and individual accounts of the outgoing government.
Senior officials of the ousted President Alpha Condé’s government will not be able to access their accounts.
The coup leaders seized the government on Sunday, and said they wanted to end rampant corruption, human rights abuses and mismanagement.
