Justice Mojisola Olatoregun of a Federal High Court, Lagos on Wednesday granted a fresh ex parte application ordering the forfeiture of $5.8 million belonging to a former First Lady, Patience Jonathan.
The fresh forfeiture order is coming a day after the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission withdrew an application challenging a court order unfreezing the money.
This had created the impression that the Federal Government was no longer interested in the case and would allow Jonathan unfettered access to the money.
