The Federal High Court sitting in Lagos has ordered
the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to unfreeze the account of the
wife of former President, Patience Jonathan.
One of the accounts which contained $5.9m was
frozen when the court presided over by Justice Mojisola Olatoregun in
December 2016, had made the freezing order following an application for
an interim injunction by the EFCC to that effect.
The EFCC had in an affidavit deposed to by one of
its operatives, Mr. Abdulahi Tukur, told the judge that suspected proceeds of
crime were retained in the accounts and urged the judge to urgently freeze the
accounts pending the conclusion of its investigations.
