PHOTOS: ‘Some Of The Money Found In Accounts Belong To My Late Mum’ – Patience Jonathan

New revelations have emerged in the fraudulent accounts traced to the former First Lady, Mrs. Patience Jonathan, with claims by her counsel that two of the accounts belonged to her late mother, Madam Charity Fyneface Oba. The counsel, Mr. Charles Ogboli, also admitted that only three of the five accounts in dispute could be traced to the ex-First Lady and her mum. At press time, it was gathered that Mrs. Jonathan was in Abuja where she was strategising on how to win her case. The ex-First Lady’s counsel, Mr, Ogboli spoke on the Channels Television discussion programme, Sunrise. Ogboli is however the third lawyer in three weeks to speak on behalf of Mrs. Jonathan. Ogboli said: “That is not true. The First Lady did not hold five accounts. They are three accounts. The First Lady was the signatory of one account and the mother was a signatory to the other two accounts. “These accounts were not on a company’s name; it is on a personal data name of the First Lady. If you check, the BVN showed clearly on a personal name. “And if you go through the BVN, it shows that it is her personal account; it is not connected with the companies facing trial. “The First Lady was never privy to the companies standing trial. The money that is in the account ($5 million) should be left to the First Lady.” Responding to a question, Ogboli added: “I am explaining on behalf of the First Lady that this is what transpired.”
