$15.5Million In Patience Jonathan Bank Accounts Stolen From Nigeria – EFCC Tells High Court

January 1st, 2018 – Patience Jonathan $15.5Million Stolen From Government – EFCC Tells Lagos High Court

The EFCC told the Federal High Court in Lagos that former First Lady Patience Jonathan didn’t not earn the $15.5million in her bank accounts genuinely.

In its defence to her suit challenging the freezing of her accounts, the commission argued that Mrs Jonathan does not run any business from which she could have earned such huge sums.

EFCC said its investigations showed that the money was allegedly stolen from the Federal Government and its agencies, and that it does not belong to the former First Lady.

“There is no way the plaintiff (Mrs Jonathan) could have genuinely earned the monies. She is the wife of the former president, a civil servant and a retired permanent secretary in Bayelsa State.

“She does not run any profit and interest yielding business venture to generate such money.

“Investigation conducted by the first defendant (EFCC) revealed that the plaintiff is not the owner of the funds in the accounts of the third to fifth defendants (companies), which funds were discovered to be proceeds of fraudulent activities of Waripamo-Owei Emmanuel Dudafa,” EFCC said.
