Federal Govt. Takes Over “N2.4 Billion” Belonging To “Patience Jonathan”

Former First Lady of Nigeria, Patience Jonathan has forfeited another N2.4 billion to the Federal Government.

In the development, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission said the $8.4 million was discovered in some accounts linked to the ex-First Lady, the N2,421,953,522.00 was said to be held in bank accounts owned by Lawari Furniture and Bath Limited, a company in which Dame Jonathan allegedly has interest.
