Nigeria’s former First Lady Patience has forfeited temporarily N1.0004 billion to the Federal Government.
The interim forfeiture of the huge sum of money said to have been lodged in three deposits with Fidelity Bank Plc on 20th and 25th May 2015, following a court order secured by the country’s anti-graft body, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The forfeiture order was granted by a Federal High Court sitting in Kano, presided over by Justice A. Lewis-Allagoa as a result of a motion ex parte filed by the EFCC seeking for the interim forfeiture of the money it said was found in the account of Magel Resort Limited, a company linked to the Patience Jonathan.
In his ruling, Justice A. Lewis-Allagoa held that: “An interim forfeiture order is granted to the Federal Government in the sum of N1,000,494,000 (One Billion, Four Hundred and Ninety-Four Thousand Naira Only) in the Bank account of the 1st respondent Magel Resort Limited 4011019546 which is maintained with 2nd respondent Fidelity Bank Plc.”

The EFCC said it gotten an intel that a bank account domiciled in Fidelity Bank, had a huge sum of money that was not being used by anybody, consequent upon which it swung into action by conducting preliminary investigation, which revealed that Patience and some relatives of former President Goodluck Jonathan which include Oba Tamunotonye, Goodluck Jonathan Aruera, Goodluck Jonathan Ariwabai and Esther Fynface, were directors of the company.
The EFCC said in trying to trace the origin of the money, it was discovered that N500,000 was deposited on the 20th of May, 2015 by Fynface, who is alleged to be in charge of the Company, while N1 billion (One Billion Naira Only) was transferred in two tranches on the 25th May, 2015 from PAGMAT Oil and Gas Nigeria Limited, a company the EFFC said was not incorporated with the Corporate Affairs Commission.
The court further ordered that the forfeited sum be deposited in the Treasury Single Account of the Federal Government.

President Buhari integrity for poor masses
Where did she get such amount from, she’s a rogue
Chai chai na only you waka come with 1b
Thief thief
But they said is 1.4bn, now is 1bn which one should we believe now?? nigerian tribune answer dis question pls.
And some vultures from south south will still defend her, because they are good interms of defending looters.
Should PDP win the election the money would be returned to her with interest and apologies . God forbid
… buy when the case was brought up fresh, the BIAFRAUDS and PDPIGS were saying it was witchunting.,… that it was an attempt to get at her husband. Can you now see that hatred, tribalism and sentiment have made a fool of you people.
When Buhari leaves, we shall see the ones stolen by Aisha . After all, her common ADC stole 2.5Bn from her. I am sure her own will be worst. Currently there is no saint politicians in Nigeria. Mr integrity my foot
You can imagine. The husband will still come out to talk, and talk about PDP as the best party to rule. Nor be una fault, if Nigeria is a working system many of these people’s case would have been concluded, and sentenced to death. Too bad.
Someone like Buhari for the first in the history of Nigeria is cleaning all these mess that has mortgaged our future, the future of the youths,crumbled everything, nothing is working, yet a youth with his right senses will still say na ATIKU, PDP government they want. I just laugh at the ignorance of these misguided youths.
When these men went to school in their time, everything was chill and nice, numerous opportunities were there immediately they pass out from school. Many of them went to school on scholarships been put in place by the government as at their time. As at their time, Refineries,Steel company, Iron Ore plants were all working. They had numerous opportunities ones they passed out from school.
All these things were put in place by the government of their time. Today these same people who benefitted from that government, have succeeded crumbling everything that was put in place. Nothing is working. They stole everything, not leaving any infrastructures,crumbled all these companies for the coming youths,what they enjoyed& meant in good shape. Today is badly shaped. They have mortgaged our future. Yet a same persons will still be clapping hands for these thieves to come back and rule us. Here is someone cleaning these mess with all sincerity for the first time in the history if Nigeria,yet same youths whom he( Buhari) is safeguarding their future, cos come to think of it he is an old man,we the youths still have plenty of time unlike him,are castigating him. I just pity Nigerian youths. Some are so naive, senseless and too foolish. I will not say ignorance is the cause, they were born foolish,and will always remain foolish
Austine Anumudu . Where you not in this country when Aisha ADC was said to have stolen 2.5Bn from her? When Buhari leaves office, the revelation of their stealing will drive you crazy, because you trust them too much. Currently, there are no saint politicians in Nigeria. Mr integrity my foot

APC and lies are Siamese twins
Buhari is the most corrupt president Nigeria
ever had and must be voted out soon.
FG should take more from her.
She needs to forfeit more. She didn’t do any work to earn that. They are proceeds of corruption. The only problem is that the govt of buhari is stealing some of the money and wasting the rest.
