Former First Lady
Patience Jonathan’s bank accounts containing $19,871.307.96 have been frozen,
The Nation learnt yesterday.
The cash is part of the
$22.3 million found in the accounts.
The Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission (EFCC) has also established a prima facie case of money
laundering against the ex-First Lady and 10 others.
The 11 suspects may face
trial for alleged money laundering if the recommendation of the investigative
team is upheld.
The EFCC declared that
“preliminary investigation has also indicted Mrs. Patience Jonathan”.
The 10 suspects indicted
in the investigation are a former Senior Special Assistant (Domestic/Household
and Social Events to the former President), Dr. Dudafa Waripamo-Owei Emmanuel;
Damola Bolodeoku; Dipo Oshodi; Theodora Varinik; Pluto Property and Investment
Company Limited; Seagate Property Development and Investment Limited; Globus
Integrated Services Limited; Trans Ocean Property and Investment Company
Limited and Skye Bank Plc.
The 10th suspect, Sompre
Omiebi, is said to be on the run.
The mobile phones
recovered from most of the suspects have revealed how the slush funds were
wired.
Mrs. Jonathan has sued
Skye Bank, claiming ownership of the accounts.
She is asking for N200
million damages from the bank in addition to demanding that the lid on the
accounts be lifted.
The Nation stumbled on a
report on the investigation. It states: “Based on the investigation so far
carried out, the four fraudulent VISA Platinum USD card accounts used by Mrs.
Patience Goodluck Jonathan has a cumulative balance of $14,029,881.79 which has
been swept Post No Debit Card category.
“Again, her personal
account, different from the four fraudulent VISA Platinum USD Card accounts,
bears the balance of $5,841,426.17.
“Considering the
above-stated findings, we can safely conclude that a prima facie case of
conspiracy to retain proceeds of unlawful activities, retention of the proceeds
of unlawful activities, money laundering, contrary to Section 15(3) and 18(a)
of the Money Laundering ( Prohibition) (Amendment) Act, 2012 and forgery
contrary to Section 1(2) (c) of the Miscellaneous Offences Act, Cap M17, Laws
of the Federation, 2004 have been established against the aforementioned
suspects.”
The EFCC claimed that
all the funds traced to Mrs Jonathan’s accounts were proceeds of gratification.
The report said: “The
intelligence revealed that Dr. Dudafa Waripamo-Owei Emmanuel fraudulently
received various sums of money, being proceeds of gratification and retained
same on behalf of the then First Family and for himself.
“In committing the
alleged offence, Dr. Dudafa Waripamo-Owei Emmanuel, in grand conspiracy with
one Sompre Omiebi and Mrs. Patience Jonathan, procured the services of Mr. Dipo
Oshodi, Miss Theodora Vavrinik and Mr. Damola Bolodeoku of Skye Bank Plc to launder
and retain the proceeds of their unlawful activities.
“On receipt of the
intelligence report, letters of investigation activities were sent to the
Corporate Affairs Commission, relevant banks , communication companies, Federal
Inland Revenue Service, Chief of Staff to the President, Federal Road Safety
Corps and the mobile phones recovered from suspects were analysed.
“Also, the employees of
various banks whose names featured, together with Dr. Dudafa Waripamo-Owei
Emmanuel, were interviewed and a search carried out . Some of the purported
directors and signatories to the said companies were arrested and interviewed.”
The report explained
that the accumulation of the gratification funds started in 2013 with the
registration of four fake firms.
The report added: “In
2013, the principal suspect, Dr. Dudafa Waripamo-Owei Emmanuel, in a grand
conspiracy with Sompre Omiebi and Barr. Amajuoye Azubuike fraudulently
registered the following companies: (a) Pluto Property and Investment Company
Limited; (b) Trans Ocean Property and Investment Company Limited; (c) Globus
Integrated Service Limited; ( d) Seagate Property Development and Investment
Limited.
“However, the following
persons , Taiwo Ebenezer, Chima John, Friday Davis, Olalekan Bello, Asuquo
Charles, Kola Frederick, Rasak Gbodiyam, Ebi Attah, Agbo Baro and Olugbenga
Isaiah, named as the purported directors of the companies, have denied
knowledge of the registration and any interest in the companies.
“That after the
fraudulent registration, the principal suspect, Dr. Dudafa Waripamo-Owei
Emmanuel, conspired with Sompre Omiebi and three officials of the Skye Bank
Plc, namely Dipo Oshodi, Theodora Varinik and Damola Bolodeoku, to fraudulently
open current and VISA Platinum Credit Card ( USD) accounts for the companies.
“That in opening account

Limited in Skye Bank Plc, Dr. Dudafa Waripamo-Owei Emmanuel, Sompre Omiebi and
Skye Bank officials, namely Dipo Oshodi, Theodora Varinik and Damola Bolodeoku,
also fraudulently used the details of one Friday Davies and Toru Inoyengibuomo(
who have been found to be staff of NIMASA) .
“That in opening account
Nos: 1771420797 and 2110002245 for Trans Ocean Property and Investment and
Company Limited in Skye Bank Plc, Dr. Dudafa Waripamo-Owei Emmanuel, Sompre

Bolodeoku, also fraudulently used the details of one Asuquo Charles and Kola
Frederick as the signatories to the accounts.
“That in opening account
Nos: 1771421299 0and 2110002269 for Globus Integrated Services Limited Dr.
Dudafa Waripamo-Owei Emmanuel, Sompre Omiebi and Skye Bank officials namely
Dipo Oshodi, Theodora Varinik and Damola Bolodeoku also fraudulently used the
details of one Razak Gbodiyam and Ebi Attah as the signatories to the accounts.
“That in opening account
Nos: 1771420780and 2110002207 for Seagate Property Development and Investment
Limited, Dr. Dudafa Waripamo-Owei Emmanuel, Sompre Omiebi and Skye Bank
officials namely Dipo Oshodi, Theodora Varinik and Damola Bolodeoku also
fraudulently used the details of one Agbo Baro and Olugbenga Isaiah as the
signatories to the accounts.
“That though these
fraudulent accounts do not have Biometric Verification Numbers(BVN), the Skye
Bank officials allowed their cronies to use and operate the accounts.
“That all the driver’s
licences used as a means of identification of the purported signatories have been
found to be forged.
“That all these
fraudulent accounts were opened with the consent of Mrs. Patience Goodluck
Jonathan.
“Furthermore, the
investigation has revealed that all VISA Platinum USD cards in respect of the
above-mentioned accounts were picked up by Mr. Dipo Oshodi and Damola Bolodeoku
of Skye Bank Plc from the bank and handed over to Mrs. Patience Goodluck
Jonathan.”
EFCC detectives gave the
breakdown of how funds were wired into nine USD accounts believed to have been
opened with fraudulent names and operated by Mrs. Jonathan.
The report said: “That
looking at the various Visa Platinum USD Card accounts, the sum of
$5,114,609.00 were lodged into the account of Globus Integrated Services

Sahara reporters *side
eyes*
*This is so
embarrassing!..If she had known she would have denied owning these monies!

WITH CLEAN HANDS THEN SHE SHOULD FIGHT BACK.
