New reports indicate that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is set to invite Dame Patience Jonathan, the wife of former President Goodluck Jonathan over her illegal accounts.
Impeccable sources at the EFCC told Punch newspaper that detectives had visited the Skye Bank branch on Adeola Hopewell, Victoria Island, where the accounts were opened and had obtained the files containing Patience's information.
The source noted that the detectives had been able to establish a prima facie case of money laundering and forgery against Patience.
A detective at the EFCC said, "After three months of investigation, I can confirm to you that we are set to invite Patience Jonathan. We obtained the files from the bank and we realised that those accounts with the $15m were opened with fake identity cards, including driving licences.
"We took the cards and went to the Federal Road Safety Corps to verify if the cards were authentic. We found out that the cards were fake. So, this is not just money laundering but a clear case of fraud.
"If they had nothing to hide, why did they go to this length?"
While the companies have pleaded guilty, Patience insists that the money belongs to her but claims she does not know the companies.
Meanwhile, sources within the agency revealed that the commission had been under pressure to drop the case as there are plans by Patience's supporters to embark on a series of protests this week.
