Financial Intelligence Unit Freezes Le3.4 Billion Accounts Linked to Super Advertis Agents
Mohamed Aruna The Director of the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) David Borbor, has revealed that they have frozen some accounts associated with agents who worked for Super Advertis in the country.
He disclosed that, the sum of 3.4 billion old leones was frozen, an action that was taken in response to the sudden closure of the Super Advertis investment early this month. This event was received as a discouragement to thousands of Sierra Leoneans who invested a huge sum of money through their application.
On the legality of the company, the director disclosed that the company failed to obtain a license from the Bank of Sierra Leone and the FIU which are key in the provision of necessary financial services in the country.
He added that, Super Adertis did not approach the regulatory bodies for the required license. He said it was from the backdrop of investigating and vetting the sources of funds to gather credible information on related financial institutions in the country that they pursued 30 accounts linked with agents operating through Africell and Orange money and have frozen the said amounts as investigation continues.
He confirmed that the company was owned by a Chinese man whose information have been provided to the Sierra Leone Police and the matte under investigation, adding that the FIU would work hard to clarify the destination of the frozen funds.
The best news ever in this year
I only pray that those money will be recovered and returned to the victims. Ameen
Thanks very much for the update, but those that involves in this super advertise how are they going to get their money.
When you freeze their accounts, what happens to the frozen monies?
A good job but my question here now is that how/when will we have our money
We just need our money back
I said it, that Sierra Leone is not a country but a village.
So instead of arresting the people you allow us the poor people to loose our money. Because their offices weren’t hidden, so what you guys are saying if it’s really true that you were fighting for us then the best you people should have done is to arrest them until we remove our money from the platform but no disadvantage us.
But Almighty Allah know the truth. A day to change my family story you people mess up everything for me, May Almighty Allah hear our cries.😭
But I do believe you know that the money in those various account are Sierra Leoneanns money what is the latest now about the money can the citizens receive their money again
What happens to the frozen money?
Will the customer receive their money back?
This is just propaganda talks we know that superadvertis went away with digital money so how can you freeze the account of people from an app which no longer works
The guy is lying
Great 👍👍 if the people receive their money back. Thanks for the effort we expect more in this issues
I wish the involving masses get their money back.
Hope we will receive our monies back
Thanks so much for this great news
A very brilliant question
Are those people ready to still operates with their customers or not
Ask them ooo..
Frozen the account is a good step in right direction, but pls before the said fund disappear that nobody to account for it, pls call the creditors and form ‘creditors committee’ to work out how some of could recover their money 👌
The Sierra Leonean citizens are waiting to hearing good from you not just to investigate and freeze the accounts but rather how would people be on the advantage by regaining their frozen monies. You will be applauded if the best is done for the needful.
So what next, is the money going to be refunded to the victims?
Him oh Sierra Leone

Is there any other way that FIU will use to get access to the frozen money?

But Orange have this monies why they luck those accounts according to my looks of things it is plan been tie set by Super Advertis clim to say they are company. Orange don’t mean good for this nation. But they have done their own. But inshalah God will fight for us.
