The Supreme Court has affirmed an order of interim forfeiture made by the Lagos division of the Federal High Court in respect of the sum of $8.4m linked to the wife of former President Goodluck Jonathan, Mrs Patience Jonathan.
The five-man panel of the apex court led by Justice Dattijo Muhammad, in a unanimous judgment, on Friday dismissed the ex-first lady’s appeal and directed her to return to the Federal High Court to show cause why the funds should not be permanently forfeited to the government.
