The Supreme Court on Friday affirmed another order of interim forfeiture made by the Lagos Division of the Federal High Court in respect of the sum of N2.

4bn allegedly traced to the wife of former President Goodluck Jonathan, Mrs. Patience Jonathan.

The apex court had, barely a week ago, affirmed an interim forfeiture of the sum of $8.4m belonging to the ex-First Lady and directed her to return to the Federal High Court in Lagos to show cause why the fund should not be permanently forfeited to the Federal Government. On Friday, in a separate appeal, a five-man Bench of the apex court unanimously handed down a similar verdict on another sum of N2,421,953,522 in the bank account of Lawari Furniture & Bath Limited, a firm which the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission had linked to Mrs. Jonathan.

BMovement2019 What a shame to the Jonathan family. What a disgrace

After all it is not her Money.

Can someone please educate me on how this woman is still walking free in this parts for sure! People have died for less acts of stealing and certainly no destructive crime of this magnitude. jaillootersasrobbers

Lboogie_K I’ve said it times without numbers that Patience is one if the biggest thieves in Nigeria. That was her only job to steal money that’s all🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ shame on her

Nigeria. Good bless Nigeria

kunmmii Is there no penalty for corruption ? Like jail time or something ? This nigga should be behind bars!

With mounting evidences against this 1st lady, it's time to bring her to justice to serve as a deterrent to would-be executive pilferers.

Next level don start OOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!1

No professional background, but phd in stealing.

Why forfeiting without sentencing?

Again and again

This woman was never appointed into any political office. Those monies may have come to hear through donations by those who wanted favour from her husband just as Isha once told us a little bit about her own that her ADC stole.

Where are the forfeit funds? What are they use for? Someone else will still it again 🙄🙄🙄 ThisIsNigeria

She may be another Abacha

This money no dey finish ne?

Patience again? God purnish am

Government money inside government wrapper lol

...would love to know the position of her hero of democracy husband on all these forfeitures.

Testing Microphone!! Hello Tu Tu!! Hello Buhari testing microphone Hello Tu Tu!!!

Same strategy of 2015: Win election and play past corruption on loudspeakers for Nigerians for 1 year. Jail even one person...No.

Michelleagoh How much con remain abeg

Ibifaka!!! Again

'Another' N2.4Bn, these people are so rich

iameneji All of this again ....gosh ¡¡¡

iameneji The sole reason they conceded defeat easily. 'What the hell do we need again, we have reaped 9ja naked'

This forfeiture + the case going on in Milan.

The money no dey finish? Abacha loot part 2

Michelleagoh There's God o! Chai!

The grandmother of corruption, na only u waka come?

This money no dey finish? Haha there is God oooooo.

'Another' N2.4Bn, these people are so reach.

Interim forfeiture I don't understand what this means...

If all these allegations are true, when are they charging this woman to court and hopefully sentence her for life? Demonic

And some rogues will be claiming that GEJ administration was the best. Had he been reelcted in 2015, Nigeria would have been a failed state by now

These people for steal Nigeria joined, if given the second term.

Mama peace na real thief. Wat is d difference btw her and Abacha. But how come she get access to all dis money abi na d husband dey keep d money with her? Lol

Is this woman not competing with Abacha laidis?

Okay!we've heard,continue.

Again?

Waliyadeniran Just like Abacha, Patience Jonathan actually saved for the future.

This money can go round 80'000 Npower volunteers. We excaped a major disaster.

They stole us almost dry. But mercy prevailed.

Vanity upon vanity, with all the huge amount of money in your account who u help? Think of the day you will leave the earth. Same goes to you all that abuse your position.

Chaii dis woman don kill us.

AynLade won sheh wa ya werey bayi...ahhah...patience Jonathan should be jailed without prosecution

The term used here is interim forfeiture and not permanent forfeiture. Let's hope the case o final forfeiture too is successful.

iyaboawokoya If there’s no office of the First Lady, how did she establish contact with these funds? There must be an enabler. Her husband? Someone? Who?

Na nly Ds woman waka come. Jesus

This woman stole us empty. hmmmm

Kilode😬😬😬haba

There is God oooo

Beyond forfeitures, when is this woman be prosecuted?

Good one

Mama peace no go court ni, una never see anything.... Bàbá neva start sef

The money nova finish

Hmmmmm

Good job

The goose that lay the golden egg

Chai!!! Na only she waka come?🙆🏾‍♂️

Una go finish this woman O!When will you people starts investigating Akpabio and the Bullions van in Boudillon Road

Not only forfeit but should collect back our money 💰. How did she get that huge amount while masses are suffering. Not only her but others too, not allow to spend their looted national cake 🍰.

Until we punish corrupt politicians or govt appointees upon conviction by firing squad, life imprisonment or hanging to death may be they will think twice before committing stealing public fund

That Patience is way too greedy!! She stole so much money while her mumu husband was in power. No first lady anywhere in the world has so brazenly committed such a level of thievery!!!😡
