Court Orders Interim Forfeiture Of Patience Jonathan’s $5.8m

Justice Mojisola Olatoregun of a Federal High Court, Lagos, on Wednesday granted a fresh ex parte application ordering the forfeiture of $5.8M belonging to a former First Lady, Mrs Patience Jonathan.

EFCC wants the sum forfeited to the Federal Government pending the determination of the motion on notice.
Justice Mojisola Olatoregun held: “Order is granted as prayed”

The new order was granted 24 hours after the EFCC withdrew a pending application for stay of the court’s judgment which had earlier unfrozen Jonathan’s account.
