PHOTOs: Women Protest at Federal High Court over Seizure of Patience Jonathan's Bank Account

Some group of women stormed the Federal High Court in Lagos in protest against a court ruling freezing the ($15m) bank account of former first Lady; Patience Jonathan.

Recall that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, recently ordered the freezing of some bank accounts belonging to the former First Lady due to the ongoing investigation of alleged money laundering.

EFCC had also confirmed that Mrs Jonathan is being investigated for money laundering, but no case has been instituted against her in any court yet.

Meanwhile, Patience Jonathan, has insisted that the $15m found in several bank accounts linked to her by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, were “legitimate gifts from friends.”
