Patience Jonathan


Eniola Akinkuotu, Abuja

Mrs Patience Jonathan, the wife of former President Goodluck Jonathan, said the acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mr Ibrahim Magu, wrote a letter to the British High Commission in Nigeria, asking the British Government not to issue her with a visa.

Patience said this in a petition written by her lawyers, Granville Abibo (SAN) & Co. which was addressed to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr Yakubu Dogara.



Patience said the British Government subsequently investigated her and found her not wanting and thereafter issued her with a visa.

The petition, which was signed by G.I. Abibo (SAN), read in part, “In February 2017, the EFCC through its acting Chairman, Mr Ibrahim Magu, made a spurious report against our client to the United Kingdom authorities and other international bodies – all in a grand design to forestall the renewal of her visa and other travel documents.

“The allegations against our client by the EFCC were duly investigated by the UK authorities and other international bodies who found the reports baseless and thereupon issued the visa and other travel documents to our client.”

Patience said the EFCC had gone after her relatives including her older brother, Chief Aseminaso Kalama, for no just cause.

Besides, Mrs Esther Oba, Patience’s relative, had also been declared a person of interest by the commission for allegedly operating a bank account with $429,381.87 (N135,255,289.05) for the former President’s wife.

Patience said the Nigeria Police Force and the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency had also joined the EFCC in intimidating and harassing her family, adding that the three agencies had searched her properties at least five times.

She added, “On November 3, 2016, the EFCC physically raided and attacked the premises of our client and her relations situated at 2 Igbeti Street, Maitama, Abuja, in the absence of the occupants of the house, carting away valuable items.

“On November 30, 2016, the same premises were raided by the officials of the NDLEA with a lorry load of over 50 operatives under the guise of searching for drugs kept in the house. This raid was carried out in the absence of the occupants of the said house. Our client’s house was broken into and vandalised.

“On January 4, 2017, the EFCC again broke into the said house claiming to be looking for foreign currencies stashed therein. This was done in the absence of the occupants of the house and without any search warrant. The operatives raided the house and took away whatever they fancied.”

The anti-graft agency commenced investigation on Patience in March 2016. Although she had never been invited by the commission, several bank accounts linked to her with a total sum of about N15bn had been frozen while properties worth about N3bn had been seized by the commission.

All attempts to speak with the spokesman for the EFCC, Mr Wilson Uwujaren, proved abortive as he did not respond to repeated calls put through to his telephone.

Where is baba?

Nobody says security agencies shouldn't do their jobs but repeatedly breaking into someone's house when the person isn't around, WITHOUT A SEARCH WARRANT, and stealing the persons property is going overboard. In a sane clime, Magu would have been relieved of his duties and prosecuted since he obviously doesn't know what it entails. It is acts like this that is pushing the country into a ditch. Magu and all those who support his impunity are the real enemies of state and their fùck ùps shall soon be treated by posterity

Patience said the British Government subsequently investigated her and found her not wanting and thereafter issued her with a visa.

What investigation did the British government do exactly? When did the British government become an investigative body in Nigeria, disregarding our agencies?

Looks like the British government are promoting corruption here.

Lol

We have so many clowns and block-heads who think and moves like Zombie in this country. The UK authority eventually issued Visa to Mama Peace after finding out that the allegation against her are baseless and lack utmost good faith. That is my problem with Magu........Magu behaves like a celebrity that always craves attention in the media by shoddily embarking on media trials and tickling the ears of Zombies!

Same people that received loots worth billions of dollars

From our corrupt politicians.

People should be able to use their brain when it's needed. Magu or EFCC? Magu is just like every other person Working as an officer in EFCC. He couldn't do that on his own if he wasn't working for the commission.
It will be right to say EFCC writes British Govt not to issue her visa and not Magu. We are too emotional in this part of the world.

The allegations against our client by the EFCC were duly investigated by the UK authorities and other international bodies who found the reports baseless and thereupon issued the visa and other travel documents to our client.”


So after EFCC gragra, she still got her VISA.

Hmm

Power pass power

Nonsense.
So any fool from any agency can just wake up one morning and tell a foreign government who to give visa and who not to give?
Go for mental check up please

The whole madam Jonathan saga is becoming a witch-hunt. The actual corrupt people are in government now

The senate will impeach acting commissioner and noting will happen.
