Mrs Patience Jonathan, wife of former president has again\nlost at the Supreme court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Court has upheld the order of temporary forfeiture made\nby a Federal High Court in Lagos in respect of the $8.4million traced by the\nEconomic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Supreme Court had fixed March 8, 2019, to deliver judgment\nin an appeal filed by former First Lady, Mrs Patience Jonathan challenging the\npowers of the EFCC for forfeiture of her properties when she has not been\nconvicted for any offence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a judgment on Friday, a five-man panel of the court unanimously\nheld that the appeal filed by Mrs. Jonathan, challenging the interim\nforfeiture, was without merit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The court ordered Mrs. Jonathan to go before the Federal\nHigh Court to justify her ownership of the money to prevent its permanent\nforfeiture to the Federal Government.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
