The commission started the probe in a bid to gather evidence against her, following the freezing of $20m traced to her.
EFCC has also set up a team of detectives saddled with the responsibility of identifying houses and property owned by Patience.
The operatives had been instructed from the office of the commission’s chairman to mark such houses.
The operatives are focusing attention on properties in Lagos, Abuja, Yenagoa and Port Harcourt.
“It would not be correct to conclude that the commission has halted the investigation into the activities of the former First Lady,” a source told Punch.
“The investigation is progressing and it is being handled by the office of the chairman of the commission.
“A team of operatives has been assembled to identify all her properties in the country with a focus on Abuja, Port Harcourt and Yenagoa.
“The responsibility of the team is to mark all such properties in preparation for a possible court action.”
Meanwhile Justice Babs Kuewumi of a National Federal High Court in Lagos has fixed December 7 to hear a suit filed by Mrs. Jonathan seeking to un-freeze her account.
EFCC had traced $5m to the personal account of the former First Lady. It froze the account domiciled in Skye Bank Plc last month.
Mrs. Jonathan’s troubles started when the commission froze the accounts of four companies traced to the Special Adviser to ex-President Jonathan on Domestic Affairs, Waripamowei Dudafa.

EFCC want to start what they cannot finish. Na sit down i dey so
ReplyDeleteI wonder why the same treatment hasn't been given to Mariam Abacha and Turai Yaradua. Why is it that it is only the southerners that are being probed? All the northerners that ruled before now why haven't they been arrested.
DeleteImagine comparing turai and Marian to PATIENCE! na joke?
DeleteMariam*
DeleteAnon, I agree with you, if they want to investigate everyone, they should investigate ALL of them.
DeleteBecause these ppl r real criminals, ALL of them o.
Gege buhari / patience gwanu oooooooooooooooo
DeletePatience Jonathan owns an estate in Abuja.
DeleteAnon, you guys should always stop this rubbish sentiments you come up with. The Abacha family have been disgraced since 1999.Looted funds traced to them constantly exposed & returned. The last returned ones were relooted by Gej & PDP.You guys can't even call a spade, a spade. Maybe Bulgari should grant Abacus presidential amnesty the way gej did to Alameseigha. We just don't have shame as citizens.

ReplyDeleteWow. This is becoming interesting
ReplyDeleteThis is a welcome development.her properties should be converted to government offices or auctioned out. Thieves.
ReplyDeleteExactly, converted to govt property, nobody would want to buy it before efcc begins to probe them.
DeleteHmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
DeleteSisi Eko you wish? Shame on you oooooooo& your generation

ReplyDeleteLet's see how the drama unfolds
New movie "the Jonathan probing"
Lol. I trust nollywood 😀😀😀😀😀😀
DeleteMalam Buhari will not think of showing her this wickedness if she is a northern Muslim woman
ReplyDeleteTrue!..
DeleteHer problem with Buhari is bcoz she called him brain dead during d campaign which she is correct btw
ReplyDeleteGbam!...
DeleteBut he is brain Dead , is any thing working in the country under Buhari?
DeleteTah na today. Mschwwww. Make Efcc try am. Then that thief Ameachi is still walking free. Idiots including you stella the APC cock sucker
ReplyDeleteBinsh rims APC an dem no send am
DeleteGo and ask Jonathan why Mariam Abacha and Turai Yaradua were not given the same treatment. It is not only southerners that are being probed, you need to update yourself with news of what is going on in the country. If you can't do that, then stop talking trash and STFU.
ReplyDeleteTaa!...
DeleteLies!,..
sai bubu😘😘
ReplyDeleteIndirectly probing Jonathan.
ReplyDeleteEFCC seem to have forgotten that Jonathan and his wife have been in government for 16years deputy governor, governor, vice president and president. The issue his rather than seize all take a reasonable amount and leave the rest for her . i do not support corruption but everyone should come to equity with clean hands. How many former presidents in Nigeria or their families have being incarcerated or engaged by EFCC. Let them be fair
ReplyDeleteThank you!...
DeleteAbacha's wife has the biggest gold shop in Dubai...
No one is talking about it!...
Na thunder go fire all these people..
Biko dis people should leave my pepe alone ohhh
ReplyDeleteChai darris God o
ReplyDeleteWhy is she the only ex first lady being probed? Abi na only them Pam money?bubu God is watching you
ReplyDeleteWhat of the first ladies before her???!! Yaradua's wife nkor? Buhari should know that he will leave the seat of power one day too. Buhari your wife, children and other family members will pay for all this.
ReplyDeleteJonathan should have probed Turai na
DeleteThank you sisi eko. Besides those other first ladies didn't come out publicly to claim ownership to accounts not opened in their names.
DeleteSisi shut up
DeleteAfter your mama na anonymous 16:25 COWARD. Eheheh
DeleteThese people just want throble, wetin this woman do una abeg.
ReplyDeleteMama Peace come and see my Bishop oo. If he can do it for someone with EFCC problem, your case is not different. no one hand, them go leave you.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what Ayo Orishajefor is doing. He should call God to free you
Yimu
DeleteI siddon dey look.
ReplyDeleteFunny at how this government is fighting corruption with prejudice. Na only she tif?
ReplyDeleteIt is very unfortunate.People shd mind d type of comment they pass.This govt is zero tolerance to corruption.when Jonathan took over frm Yardua's govt,he suppose to check and Probe whoever he felt was corrupt or stole Nigeria's money in the previous administration dat handed power to him.So u guys shd stop asking Buhari to go probe dat administration.Patience Jonathan is a thief so EFCC weldone.God Bless u allm
ReplyDeleteYou are bless. Her husband doesn't understand difference between corruption and mere stealing so let all the stole money be recovered osiso.
DeleteGod bless u plenty
DeleteThumbs up! Imagine the embarrassment she caused by claiming ownership to those monies. Shebi na she play music oya make she begin dance na.
DeleteThat is why u went under anonymous to call someone a thief
DeleteYour Holiness u made a point but u just disgust me by calling her a thief
Saint next time comment with your ID
Mchewwwwwwww

This is unfair
ReplyDeleteThis is unfair
ReplyDeleteUsually EFCC probes the man and leave their wives. But since Patience is the husband of the mumu Jonathan, that's why they are probing her. Mrs Abacha was the wife of Abacha, Turai was the wife of Musa Y'Aradua but Patience is the husband of Jonathan. SO na oga dem go dey follow. The wife Jonathan is probably too drunk somewhere to even know what is going on.
ReplyDeleteAnno
DeleteWhy the painment
U wrote up than Patience is a Thief, now you called Jonathan Mumu
You just exhibit your stupidity, why not make point than calling them names
They should also know when she had been in office.
ReplyDeleteIt's so shameful. where pple will even be saying leave her alone,is she the only one that stole?,what of Turai and abacha's wife?, that her and her husband have been in government for 16yrs.please how much is the presidents salary sef. Times it by 24yrs is still not up to the amount found in her account. Won't the fight against corruption start from somewhere? When pdp enters next they should probe all Apc members. If we were in China she would av gotten a death sentence straight. Pple should stop shouting abt being marginalized or tribalism, favoritism & nepotism any time a corrupt official is caught. We should be ashamed sef. Michelle Obama can't be this stupid to openly claim ownership of fake coys accounts and challenge the court. Such audacity in a lawless country....
