Nigeria’s anti-corruption agency has confirmed to
the BBC that former first lady Patience Jonathan is taking the agency to court
following an investigation into the four of her bank accounts.
But the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) refused to confirm whether it had blocked
any of her funds.
A letter from her
lawyers, published in several Nigerian newspapers, alleges that
$15m (£11.4m) was blocked in July – and that the money is for
the former first lady to settle medical bills abroad.
Her lawyers, Granville
Abibo (SAN) and Co, told the BBC the firm had written to the EFCC on her behalf
but refused to give further information.
Muhammadu Buhari won
elections last year, when he beat former President Goodluck Jonathan, promising
to fight corruption.
Several top former
military officers and politicians are currently being prosecuted for
corruption.

*I wonder what kind of
illness she has...FATHER GOD HEAL HER IN JESUS NAME so that she will not need
such a huge amount for hospital bills but to give to Charity becos oh LORD your
Children are hungry!
