$15m Scandal: Patience Jonathan Accuses EFCC Of Hiring Mercenaries by infohenry(m): 8:28pm On Sep 15, 2016
Ramon Oladimeji

The wife of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Patience, says the four persons who pleaded guilty to money laundering charges on behalf of the four companies linked to her are mercenaries hired by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

The ex-President’s wife stated this in a statement on Thursday by her media aide, Chima Osuji.

She alleged that the EFCC presented four unknown persons, who were not authorised by the companies’ boards to plead guilty on behalf of the companies.



She said it was a ploy by the EFCC to ensure that her hard-earn money was confiscated.

The ex-President’s wife argued that the EFCC failed to comply with Section 477 (2) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015, by not presenting to the court on Thursday any letter to show that the four persons were authorised by the companies to represent them.

“This is a clear evidence of the desperation of the prosecution to pull down the former First Lady and confiscate her hard-earned money.

“It is an irony that it was the former First Lady who went to court for the repatriation of her confiscated money when she realised that the EFCC and its co-travellers were playing politics with this issue after she had come out publicly to say that the said money belongs to her and that she has all evidence to prove the sources of her money. Up till this very moment, the EFCC has refused to interrogate or invite her for questioning.

“The biggest twist in court on Thursday was that the fourth to seventh defendants pleaded guilty to all the 15 counts. It is clear that these unknown faces were agents of the EFCC, who have been stage-managed and tutored to come to court to complicate the case as a strategy to confiscate her money,” the ex-President’s wife’s aide, Osuji, said.

She accused Dufawa of laundering her stolen money without her authorization,the companies agreed to her accusation by pleading guilty ,now she's blaming EFCC when the companies she accused of laundering her money without her knowledge pleaded guilty .
Patience is confused and she's not even being dragged into the case officially.I thought they said one is not expected to issue official statements on cases already in court. Justice Babs Kuewumi should summon Patience to defend why she should not be sent to jail for embarrassing the court.EFCC and these companies she's accusing of perjury, should report her officially to the Court and she should be immediately summoned to appear before the court before she goes to further embarrass the courts of the land.She should be used as a scape goat to people who like breaking the law and still embarrass those doing their legitimate jobs

This case is becoming very funny. I really wonder who is pushing Mama piss to be dancing nakedly in public. She's not even a party to case in the first place and here she is saying the directors of the companies that are standing trial are mercinaries. If she truly wants to claim the money, she must first come clean before Nigerians on how exactly she earned such a huge amount. We want to know the exact business that earned her over $30milliin and why the money had to be kept in the accounts of companies that are not related to her. Why can't she lodged the money in her own account that bears her name if truly it is her hard earned money?

Nigerians are no fools, we know better. She even lacks the locus standi to interfere or be joined as a party to the case. Again, she's running the risk of being charged for contempt of court by discussing a case that is before a properly constituted court openly and in a manner that can affect the outcome of the case.

When they registered the company they brought all sort of names as directors to hide ownership of said funds.

Years later the case goes to court and the directors decide to save their hides by pleading guilty.

The directors have spoken.

All rise.

EFCC has no single right to prosecute her,they must prosecute the owner of those account and companies,she will probably lose the money and those people will probably go to jail

While Ipods & Afonja slaves are busy shouting witch hunting, she is making things easy for EFCC from all indications. Who does this while a matter is already in court?. Clueless Couple who couldn't manage a bank account, how could anyone have expected them to manage a larger economy. I wouldn't blame dudafa, it's a classic case of a thief stealing from a thief. A jail term would have been a great news for Nigerians but i'm left in doubt going by the recent trip of IB to Minna.

One thing I have noticed is when Buhari and his co travellers are been lamblasted for poor performance and poor state of the nation, they bring out something to keep the citizens busy for sometime so as to forget everything happening. In as far as I don't support corruption, EFCC under Buhari are for a revenge mission. We have seen from the past how they are always quick to swing into corrupt opposition case but will never attend to APC corrupt cases.

Everybody has forgotten and moved on with Budget padding, Burutai Dubai Massion and so many corruption cases of the people in government been swept under the carpet. The worst of all is when it comes to opposition, you see APC loyalist shouting "our money" and some will even say it's the cause of this recession. But when it comes to people in power looting inspite of the present state of the nation, you will hear them saying they saved from there salary to arquire millions of dollar properties, some will say no evidence against them.

It is high time we condemn corruption irrespective of the party involve not using EFCC and DSS as a tool for revenge and oppression. The accuse is seeking for invite to clarify herself but instead she wasn't even invited but court is already acting on the matter. I have never seen where someone accused of stealing, robbery, murder, corruption been charged to court without been arrested or invited.

EFCC has been chasing shadow for the past 1 years and 4 months now. They are only very active on page of newspapers, disobeying democratic orders and spreading lies everywhere.

Food for thought.It might be that this move by EFCC is politically motivated. We are all aware of countless of baseless and libelous accusations against GEJ. They accused him of inventing Boko Haram to reduce Northern population, Being the Grand Patron of NDA and so on. But, none of them are tenable.

In order to shun prejudgments, I think we shouldn't conclude yet.
