Indications emerged on
Friday that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission was intensifying moves
to gather evidence against the former First Lady, Patience Jonathan, for a
possible prosecution.
A top operative of the commission said on
Friday that the leadership of the commission had initiated a discreet probe of
the former First Lady in a bid to assemble evidence against her in the event of
her prosecution as a fallout of the commission’s decision to freeze $20m traced
to her.
The source said that the commission had
assembled a team of detectives saddled with the responsibility of identifying
all houses and property belonging to the former First Lady.
It was stated that the
operatives had been instructed from the office of the commission’s chairman to
mark such houses and property as part of the preparation for the prosecution of
the First Lady.
It was further stated that the operatives were
focusing attention on property in Abuja, Yenagoa, Port Harcourt and other
cities in the country.
