Patience Jonathan, the wife of former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan is accusing the country’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of witch-hunting her.
She has appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to call the Commission’s staff to order and stop prosecuting her family.
In a statement issued on Monday Patience said that the EFCC has been plotting to destroy her family. Her media aide, Belema Meshack-Hart said that the vindictive disposition of EFCC was portraying the organization as an agency for revenge.
Mrs. Jonathan, accused the EFCC’s boss, Ibrahim Magu, of bias and intimidation in her statement issued in Abuja.
The statement said the EFCC boss was “spreading barefaced falsehood and propaganda against Mrs Jonathan in the name of investigations”.
Early this year officials of the Nigeria Police Force raided the house of the wife of former president of the country, Goodluck Jonathan in Abuja.
Patience Jonathan’s house, was raided by operatives of the police, hoping to uncover huge foreign currencies allegedly being kept in the building. Last year, the EFCC froze $15m money belonging to the former first lady.
