See How Patience Jonathan Used House boy, and Driver Names to open $15m Account

The EFCC has arrested a driver, houseboy and two other domestic staff working with for Mrs Dame Patience Jonathan in connection to $15m traced to Mrs Jonathan

The money, which is located in four company accounts in Skye bank have a balance of about $15m while another account, which bears Patience Jonathan’s name, has $5m.

The former First Lady who said she owns the money in the accounts said she gave millions of dollars to the then Special Adviser to the President on Domestic Affairs, Waripamowei Dudafa, to open accounts for her.

But a detective at the EFCC revealed that Dudafa used his domestic servants’ names to open the four other accounts and then deposited the money into the accounts.

“We were investigating Dudafa when we stumbled on those four companies’ domiciliary accounts opened at Skye Bank with a balance of about $15m. On further investigation, we were able to identify the directors of the companies.

“When we detained the directors, we found out that they were Dudafa’s domestic servants. One of them was a houseboy while another one was a driver. Their photographs were used in opening the accounts and their signatures were forged.

“We found out that these domestic servants were completely innocent because they had no access to the accounts. We have since released them.

The sole signatory to the accounts was Patience Jonathan and she was issued with a special card, which is accepted worldwide. She has a separate account, which was opened in her name and has a balance of $5m,” he told Punch newspaper.
