Reps Order Banks To Unfreeze Patience Jonathan's Accounts by MrPolitics(op): 7:35pm On Sep 19, 2017

The House of Representatives on Tuesday directed six commercial banks to unfreeze any account belonging to former First Lady, Patience Jonathan and her relatives.

However, the affected banks are those without restriction order from court or the anti-graft agencies.

The House also asked the acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, to appear before its Public Petition Committee on October 4.

The House regretted that Magu failed to honour the Committee’s invitation on three occasions but advised the EFCC chairman that it should not be compelled to force his appearance before the panel.

At the continuation of hearing on a petition filed by Jonathan on Tuesday, some of the affected banks denied restricting access to accounts belonging to the former first lady.

The banks said access was only denied to the accounts flagged by the EFCC.

One of the banks, Diamond bank said Jonathan has three accounts with it.

The bank said one of the accounts was closed while the other two, including the one operated by her Non- governmental organization – Women For Change – were restricted.

Our Lawmakers are gradually turning themselves to interpreters of law and enforcers of law?

That was how the over ambitious Saraki too was interpreting law yesterday, as if he is a lawyer or the court or the Judiciary.

What power do they have to give such directive?

Who are they? Body of thieves. This is the major reason why politicians will continue to loot us dry. Sparing a known and daring thief with all the evidence on ground. How on earth are we to move forward with these set of people we are electing to represent us. God will surely punish u these people. I know they are toothless dog cos banks will not yield this kangaroo direction.

sureheaven:

Not so. They have a duty to make sure due process is followed. EFCC have no power to freeze an account except via court order. If her accounts were not frozen by the courts the reps have a duty to act on the petition before them

What is the business of the house of rep. and Mrs Jonathan's bank bank account. They are not the Court.
Mrs Jonathan has the means to fight for her right, and does not need the assistance of busy body members of the house of representatives in politics to loot our commonwealth.
