Mrs Patience Jonathan, Fpormer First Lady, Nigeria
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission Chairman, Ibrahim Magu, has said the anti graft agency is investigating a controversial sum of $15,591,700, which Mrs Patience Jonathan, wife of the former president, Goodluck Jonathan, claimed belongs to her.
While fielding questions from the journalists in Lagos, the EFCC Chairman said; “We are on it (Patience’s $15,591,700). You see, we work for the long-term. We must complete our preliminary investigations before we come out. We will not spare anybody. We cannot protect anyone form answering to the people.
“Determination is key. I believe we will go a long way. Our tomorrow is better than our today.”
Magu said banks and their officials who helped in stealing public funds would soon face trial, adding that it was unfortunate that some banks created an enabling environment for looting.
“The banking sector is creating a fertile ground for corruption. It was as if the banks told the looters, go and steal and I will hide it for you. This must stop. We will zoom in on the banks. We need to stop them from creating an enabling environment for corruption to thrive.”
