The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has asked a Federal High Court in Lagos to grant interim forfeiture of the sum of $3,645,013 domiciled with First Bank of Nigeria Ltd belonging to former First Lady Patience Jonathan.
The anti-graft agency, in documents put before the court, says the sum is suspected to be proceeds of unlawful activities diverted from the Federal Government.
A Court of Appeal in Lagos on Friday, January 12 upheld the order of interim forfeiture of the sum of $5, 842, 316.66 and N2, 421, 953, 522.78 traced to the accounts of the wife of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
