Former First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, has said the $31.4
million frozen by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission over an
alleged fraud belongs to her. She made her case before a Federal High
Court in Lagos.
According to The Guardian,
counsel to the first defendant in charge, with case number FHC/337C/16,
Mr. Gboyega Oduwole, informed the court that Mrs. Jonathan filed a
fundamental application against the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC), claiming ownership of the money.
The money came about after 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.
According to an application filed on September 6, this year, with
file number FHC/L/C5/1233/16, Mrs. Jonathan 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.
The former first lady 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.
She 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.
