EFCC’s acting spokesperson, Tony Orilade disclosed in a statement issued yesterday in Abuja.According to Orilade, the forfeiture order by Federal High Court sitting in Kano and presided over by Justice A. Lewis-Allagoa is consequent upon a motion ex parte filed by the Commission seeking for the interim forfeiture of the money, which was found in the Bank account of Magel Resort Limited, a company linked to the former First Lady of Nigeria, Patience Jonathan.
He maintained that the Commission had gotten an intel that a bank account domiciled in Fidelity Bank, had a huge sum of money that was not being used by anybody.“Upon receipt of the intelligence, the EFCC swung into action by conducting preliminary investigation, which revealed that Patience and some relatives of former president, Goodluck Jonathan were directors of the Company.
“In trying to trace the origin of the money, it was discovered that N500, 000 was deposited on the 20th of May, 2015 by Fynface, who is alleged to be in charge of the Company, while N1 billion was transferred in two tranches on the 25th May, 2015 fromPAGMAT OIL AND GAS NIGERIA LIMITED a company that was not incorporated with the Corporate Affairs Commission.”
Ruling on the motion, Justice A. Lewis-Allagoa held that: “An interim forfeiture order is granted to the Federal Government in the sum of N1, 000,494,000 in the Bank account of the 1st respondent Magel Resort Limited4011019546 which is maintained with 2nd respondent Fidelity Bank Plc.”The court further ordered that the forfeited sum be deposited in the Treasury Single Account of the Federal Government.

iamSulai50 What would help is if we know how the funds is being spent, used or kept! What is the point of teasing us with news like this when it feels like the funds is recycled into another scammers pocket!

Nawa for this woman ooo. She and Madueke really want deep into our treasury. Next level will be tough on them
You could have just said 1bn.... Lobatan 😀😀
If after 4 years of leaving office, billions are traced to the former first lady, only God knows how much was stolen. Only God knows how much the other 4 presidents (strong and the weak) stole between 2010 to 2015
OfficialAPCKD Looters will never go Free with PMB
Some mumu go still want to defend this woman here oooooo........ They will even want to talk about someone else who has yet to be investigated instead of condemning this latest act of looting our country
Does she have immunity too ? Prosecute her if she's guilty of any crime z
Mindless looters & her husband got no clue. 'there is God my foot'

No qualm. When atiku comes on board, the money will be unfrozen. She should keep on waiting, wishing & praying for that day to come even if she has to wait till eternity.
She's the new Abacha
Thank God for Buhari. Alhamdulilahi.
A plane crashed because of money loaded in it, AsiwajuTinubu house now houses two bullion vans...no poblem abiThe earlier we wake up to OfficialAPCNg deceit, the better for us all..join OfficialAPCNg and your sins will be forgiven..soon Nigerians will realize their errors
The ones that have been seized over the past 4 years coupled with the annual budgets that are constantly padded, I can’t see nothing to show for it in Nigeria. 🤦🏿♂️
jeffphilips1 This madam carry o Politician are more dangerous than armed robber
Mama so all the cry for Chibok girls na wayo. You stole our resources and pretended as if you have humane spirit. You are a demon, worshipping demon... hmmm everyone stealing resources of the poor will not have peace
1 billah!!! DAMN!!
This why they rigged, they know this can be used against them in equal proportion
There is God oooo
I am sure there was a court order refraining the EFCC from forfeiting her money recently? Which court now gave them interim forfeiture again. The biggest problem with Nigeria now the executive arms of govt flouting court orders daily. It's really worrisome now.
This is ridiculous she needs to be jailed.
kakra68 IMO, I believe she was a figure head. The real culprit is mostly likely her husband. She's the decoy.
This is what we voted for, stop the stealing.
Billion. With a B. BLOOD. DY. HELL.
Seize every kobo of it and return it back to the treasury. This woollen mammoth of Okrika NEVER had a paid job in govt to have earned a dime not to talk of N1.04 billion.
Omo see money! On top this woman's deformed grammar, na wa oh! So all the while this woman was entertaining Nigerians with her grammar, she was actually getting the pay inbox ...Abeg free her o It's not easy to be a comedian, a national one at that😂 😂
Imagine PDP were still in power and she has a say, thank God for coming of President Muhamed Buhari ,I want to believe some people never see any wrong with all the looting by past PDP govt.
Wonder when they will order interim forfeiture of Aisha Buhari and Babachir Lawal’s loot
See life sha
Imagine, is she running a bureau de change?
PDP need to relax for at least another 20yrs. The figures are mind bending....
The country is moving forward.
