EFCC freezes Patience Jonathan personal $5m account

Sources within the agency told Punchng that the move became necessary due to the prima facie case established against her. As part of investigations into alleged diversion against a former S.A to GEJ on Domestic Affairs, Waripamowei Dudafa, EFCC had frozen four companies’ accounts with a balance of $15,591,700.
The companies pleaded guilty and the EFCC had already begun moves to ensure that the money is forfeited permanently to the FG. A detective at the EFCC said: “Recall that we had frozen the four companies’ accounts, which Patience Jonathan later laid claim to.
We have been able to establish that the money was part of proceeds of crime. She had no evidence that the money in the four accounts belonged to her. All she had were platinum debit cards, which she was using to withdraw money and the cards are not evidence of ownership.
Initially, we had traced $5m to her personal account, which we did not touch but I can confirm to you now that the $5m account has also been seized since she claimed that the monies in the company accounts and the one in her personal name all emanated from the same source.
We are tracing other accounts belonging to Patience. It will interest you to know that despite all the letters she has written, she has never stated where she got the money from. She claimed to be a housewife and yet she has $20m.”…. which many consider too small
