Ex-First Lady, Patience Jonathan

The Federal High Court sitting in the city of Lagos state today vehemently rejected an application made by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) seeking to seize the funds in 15 bank accounts linked to Mrs. Patience Jonathan, the former first lady.

The funds, which the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) sought to seize include a total of $8,435,788.84 and over N7.35bn.

Justice Mojisola Olatoregun rejected the ex parte application filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for the seizure of the funds, saying the funds were already subject of litigation before two other judges.
