Court declines EFCC’s request to seize Patience Jonathan’s money in 15 banks

JUSTICE Mojisola Olatoregun of a Federal High Court in Lagos on Friday declined to grant an application by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission seeking to seize the funds in 15 bank accounts linked to Mrs Patience Jonathan.
