Mrs Patience Jonathan, wife of former Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan, has again lost at the Supreme court.
The Court has upheld the order of temporary forfeiture made by a Federal High Court in Lagos in respect of the $8.4million traced by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)
The former First Lady, Mrs Patience Jonathan has been challenging the powers of the EFCC for executing forfeiture of her properties when she has not been convicted of any offence.
In a judgment on Friday, a five-man panel of the court unanimously held that the appeal filed by Mrs. Jonathan, challenging the interim forfeiture, was without merit.
The court ordered Mrs. Jonathan to go before the Federal High Court to justify her ownership of the money to prevent its permanent forfeiture to the Federal Government.
