A Federal High Court in Lagos yesterday took oral evidence in a suit seeking final forfeiture of about $8.4 million and N7.4 billion found in accounts linked to a former First Lady, Mrs. Patience Jonathan.
Meanwhile, defence counsel, Messrs Ifedayo Adedipe, SAN, Chief Mike Ozekhome, SAN, and Mr. Ige Asemudara had respectively moved their processes in opposition to the motion for final forfeiture. Referring to his role in the course of investigation into the case, Orji told the court that he was Head of EFCC task force in Lagos, and named some of his team members as Ogare Ogbore, Idris Adamu. Abdullahi Tukur, Shehu, among others.
He confirmed that the monies sought to be forfeited by the EFCC, are in dollars, whereas, the receipts of sale of proceeds were in Naira. On whether he was aware that the former first lady had a pet programme known as Women for Change at the time, the witness replied that his investigations revealed that the programme was used to receive and conceal proceeds of crime.
On whether the commission received any complaints from the Aso Villa about missing funds, he replied that he would not know as that was beyond his level, adding that he had seniors.
It's pathetic our moralistic PDP e-rats are not threading anything on this particular case.This is a woman that didnt hold office,no known business, didnt become first lady from a wealthy background.
