Patience Jonathan Loses Her Bid To Overturn The Temporary Decision To Seize Her $8.4 Million
Former First Lady, Patience Jonathan lost her bid to overturn the
temporary decision of a lower court that ordered the Federal Government
to seize her $8.4 million.
A five-man panel of the Supreme Court today in Abuja upheld the order
of temporary forfeiture made by a Federal High Court in Lagos in
respect of the money linked to her by the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC).
In a judgment on Friday, the court unanimously declared that the
appeal filed by Jonathan was without merit. The court ordered her to go
back to the lower court to justify her ownership of the money to prevent
its permanent forfeiture to the Federal Government.
