Court Unfreezes 16 Accounts Belonging To Patience Jonathan.

Court Unfreezes Patience Jonathan's AccountsA Federal High Court in Abuja has set aside its order made on May 30, freezing 16 accounts belonging to wife of former President Goodluck Jonathan, Dame Patience Jonathan.Justice Binta Nyako withdrew the order on Tuesday on the grounds that EFCC which secured the freezing order failed to conduct its investigation into the alleged infractions involving the 16 accounts.
The court’s decision followed an application by the counsel to Mrs. Jonathan asking the court to set aside an ex-parte motion filed by the EFCC for continued control of the accounts.
The lawyer, Mike Ozekhome, described EFCC’s motion as an abuse of court process.
Ozekhome revealed that the court had ordered the EFCC to conduct its investigation within 90 days of freezing the accounts in May, but the commission failed to carry out the said investigation.
