Niger Delta youths under the aegis of Coalition of Civil Rights Organisation, Concerned Youths and the Ijaw Nation Worldwide have warned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to stay away from investigating the wife of former President Goodluck Jonathan, Dame Patience.
During a protest march to EFCC’s office in Port Harcourt, yesterday, the youths described the manner in which the Commission was going about the investigation as illegal “despicable, wicked and arrogant”.

Recall that the former first lady is being probed by the EFCC over alleged money laundering linked to her and totalling $26 million.
The youths accused President Muhammadu Buhari and the EFCC of victimising the former first lady, abusing her rights and engaging in media trial before legal prosecution.

Some of the protesters’ placards read: “Who is behind the victimisation of our daughter: Her hands are clean”; “Niger Delta sons and daughters, arise against injustice”; “EFCC, leave Mrs. Patience Jonathan alone; how many former first ladies have been prosecuted in Nigeria?”
Others read: “Mrs. Patience Jonathan is our daughter; be careful the way you embarrass her, EFCC”; “Stop victimising Niger Delta people, EFCC”; and “We are not moved by the threat of EFCC”.

Fresh facts emerged yesterday on the casualty figure of the foiled jailbreak at the Abakaliki Maximum Prisons, Ebonyi State, when inmates allegedly staged a violent protest, which resulted to attempted jailbreak.

Some of the inmates who sustained various degrees of gunshot wounds who were rushed to the Federal Teaching Hospital, FETHA 1, Abakaliki, have allegedly died bringing the casualty figure to 19.

Though the state Comptroller, Mrs. Adaobi Oputa, while speaking to newsmen on the outcome of the secret meeting with the Comptroller General of Prisons, swiftly parried question on the death status arising from the foiled jailbreak, she said 16 persons were admitted at the Federal Teaching Hospital including three prison staff, due to injuries sustained during the crisis.

However, it was further gathered that female inmates were allegedly raped by the rampaging male inmates during the confusion while some of the wounded female inmates were secretly whisked away to get medical attention in the hospital.

Meanwhile, the Comptroller General of Nigeria Prisons Service, Mr. Ja-afaru, Ahmed while addressing journalists after his meeting with Governor David Umahi in Abakaliki confirmed that only six inmates died in the incident, while ten others sustained injuries
