$8.4m, N7.35bn Forfeiture: Patience Jonathan Floors EFCC In Court

A bid to seize former First Lady, Patience Jonathan’s $8.4m and N7.35bn by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has been rejected by a Federal High Court in Lagos.

The Court on Friday rejected EFCC’s application to seize the sums said to be domiciled in 15 Bank accounts of Mrs Jonathan.

In his ruling, Justice Mojisola Olatoregun said there was already a pending case regarding the funds which the EFCC sought to seize, hence cannot grant the anti-graft agency’s request.
