The wife of the immediate past president, Dame Patience Jonathan, has claimed ownership of the $31.4 million involved in an alleged fraud case before a Federal High Court in Lagos. Counsel for the first defendant in the matter, with case number FHC/337C/16, Mr. Gboyega Oduwole, informed the court that the former first lady filed a fundamental application against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, claiming ownership of the money. The EFCC had taken former presidential aide, Amajuoyi Azubike Briggs, former Skye Bank official, Damola Bolodeoku, Pluto Property and Investment Company Limited and Avalon Global Property Development Company Limited to court in an alleged $31.4 million fraud involving the companies without addresses. Others also charged include Seagate Property Development and Investment Company Limited; Trans Ocean Property and Investment Company Limited, Avalon Global Property Development Company Limited and Globus Integrated Services Limited. Guardian reports that Mrs. Jonathan, in an application filed on September 6, this year, with file number FHC/L/C5/1233/16, is asking the court to make an order for the enforcement of her fundamental rights, in terms of reliefs she sought, and naming as defendants, the EFCC and Skye Bank Plc. She asked the court to make a declaration that the fund standing to the credit of four of the companies and an account in her own name in Skye Bank belonged to her. The ex-first lady also asked the court to declare that the action of the respondents in placing a No Debit/Freezing Order on the said accounts without any order of a competent court of law or prior notice to her, to be in breach of her fundamental rights as contained in the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

What's the source of the money... 1- What business does she deal on over the years that accumulated to such figure. 2- Who are the business partners. 3- EFCC do your job.
Enough of stealing & starching in foreign banks abroad.

A lot of us carry this slave mentality too long. "It is our money, let her steal it", yet her people/place are the most desolate part of Southern Nigeria.
