Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has interrogated an assistant controller of Prisons and others over an alleged N 300 m contract given to some companies owned by Dame Patience Jonathan , wife of former President Goodluck Jonathan .
According to an EFCC detective , Mrs . Jonathan allegedly got some contracts to supply beddings and also fence some prisons ’ facilities.
“We invited some prisons officials including an Assistant Controller, to explain why over N 300 m was paid into the account of a company linked toMrs . Jonathan but they could not give us a logical answer.

“All they said was that the contract was for the supply of beddings and for
fencing some prison facilities . The process of how the contract was awarded and all that remains a mystery.”
The source said the contracts were allegedly given to some companies that
were not registered at the Corporate Affairs Commission.

The EFCC official added, “ During investigation, we discovered that some
companies traced to Mrs . Jonathan received money based on some questionable contracts . The companies don’t exist in the database of the
Corporate Affairs Commission.

“The firms include: Eurorica Concept Limited , Pastorage Vert Limited and
Mabelt Construction Limited . These firms received money from the National
Information Technology Development Agency , the Nigeria Prisons Service
and the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs.

“Mrs . Jonathan also used the companies to secure contracts to build rural
information technology centres across the country. We have not been able
to determine all the money involved so far. ”
Attempts to speak with Mrs . Jonathan ’s spokesman , Belema Meshack - Hart , proved abortive as he did not respond to several telephone calls on Sunday .
However , one of her lawyers, Mr. Ifedayo Adedipe ( SAN ), described the allegations as “mere fiction.”
The former first lady has been having a running battle with the EFCC for nearly two years .
The anti- graft agency has frozen several bank accounts with a balance of nearly N10 bn linked to her and some members of her family .
Mrs . Jonathan has written petitions to the National Assembly accusing the EFCC of breaching her fundamental human rights and harassing members of
her family.
