Seized $15m: Patience Jonathan's supporters stage protest at EFCC office in Port Hacourt

Women group in support of former First lady, Patience Jonathan, this morning staged a peaceful protest at the EFCC zonal office in Port Harcourt, Rivers state where they called on the anti-graft agency to unfreeze her $15 million seized from four company accounts linked to her. The women, numbering about 100, stormed the EFCC’s office chanting various songs and carrying different placards and banners with inscriptions bearing their grievances.

The main thrust of their grievances was that the ‘’EFCC should release the $15million Patience Jonathan’s money without delay’'.

Some inscriptions on the banners are: ‘’Please, EFCC, the malady of Mrs Patience Jonathan is of great concern to us, come to our aid in Allah’s name”;

‘’Leave our mother alone”; “Mr Chairman Sir, (EFCC) pls fight corruption with love”;

“Leave Ex-president wife alone”; “Magu, unfreeze Mrs Patience Jonathan Account”, among others. Leader of the protesters, High Chief Rita N. Onwunali Adandigbo, said that her group, Voice of Niger Delta Women, supported the corruption agenda of President Muhammadu Buhari but was in the EFCC to express its worry over the “deteriorating health situation of Mrs Patience Jonathan owing to the non-release of her money by the EFCC”.
