Just In: EFCC Loses Bid to Seize Patience Jonathan’s Money

Date:

The Federal High Court in Lagos on Friday rejected an application by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission seeking to seize the funds in 15 bank accounts linked to Mrs. Patience Jonathan.

The funds, which the EFCC sought to seize include a total of $8,435,788.84 and over N7.35bn.
