$15m scandal: EFCC hired mercenaries to implicate me, says Patience Jonathan

Embattled former First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan has said that the four companies who pleaded guilty on Thursday to charges of money laundering linked to her at a Federal High Court in Lagos, are mercenaries hired by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The declaration is contained in a statement released by the Mrs Jonathan’s media aide, Chima Osuji.
According to the former First Lady, the EFCC did not comply with Section 477 (2) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015, by not presenting to the court on Thursday any letter to show that the four persons were authorised by the companies to represent them.
“This is a clear evidence of the desperation of the prosecution to pull down the former First Lady and confiscate her hard-earned money.
“It is an irony that it was the former First Lady who went to court for the repatriation of her confiscated money when she realised that the EFCC and its co-travellers were playing politics with this issue after she had come out publicly to say that the said money belongs to her and that she has all evidence to prove the sources of her money. Up till this very moment, the EFCC has refused to interrogate or invite her for questioning.
“The biggest twist in court on Thursday was that the fourth to seventh defendants pleaded guilty to all the 15 counts. It is clear that these unknown faces were agents of the EFCC, who have been stage-managed and tutored to come to court to complicate the case as a strategy to confiscate her money,” the ex-President’s wife’s aide, Osuji, said.
