Patience Jonathan accuses EFCC of stealing her money Says Efcc you be Thief

Former First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan says the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is a big
thief for trying to steal her money.

Wife of former President Goodluck Jonathan, Dame
Patience Jonathan, is not taking the freezing of her
account by the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC), lying low as she has come out with
guns blazing to accuse the anti-graft body of trying to
steal her ‘hard earned’ money which is meant to pay for
her medical bills.

The former First Lady who is in the eye of the storm after
the body froze about $15 million found in four accounts
belonging to four different companies which she claimed
belongs to her, has given the EFCC 14 days to defreeze
her account as well as tender a public apology to her
beginning from September 18, 2016.
In a letter addressed to the Chairman of the EFCC,
Ibrahim Magu , by her law firm, First Law Associates, she
urged the Commission to leave her alone as further
attempts to withhold her money would result in a tough
lawsuit.
The letter reads in part:
“We shall file an action at the African Commission on
Human Rights at the Gambia demanding N5 billion in
exemplary and punitive damages.
There is no established legal or political precedent for
what the EFCC is currently doing to our client. How
many former First Ladies in Nigeria have received the
Patience Goodluck Jonathan Treatment (PGJT), to have
warranted the EFCC to engage in the effrontery to freeze
our client’s accounts and subject her to public
opprobrium, ridicule, and disgrace? This nonsense must
stop forthwith.
Our client is a respected senior citizen of international
repute, a retired Permanent Secretary and the immediate
past First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Our client is a law-abiding citizen who has never or at
all been the subject of any criminal and/or financial
investigation, whether at home or abroad. Accordingly,
she has not been found guilty of any criminal conduct
throughout a sparkling public service career spanning
over 35 years.

Dame Jonathan went further to say the EFCC is a big
thief and are hell-bent in confiscating her money.
