It appears that there is a news article or report about Mrs. Jonathan, the wife of former President Goodluck Jonathan, suing Skye Bank and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for N200 million in damages.
Here is a summary of the report:
Mrs. Patience Jonathan, the wife of former President Goodluck Jonathan, has filed a lawsuit against Skye Bank and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for N200 million in damages. The lawsuit was filed at the Federal High Court in Abuja, Nigeria's capital city.
According to the report, Mrs. Jonathan is seeking damages for alleged wrongful freezing of her bank accounts and the seizure of her assets by the EFCC. She claims that the actions of the EFCC and Skye Bank were unlawful and caused her significant financial loss.
The EFCC had frozen Mrs. Jonathan's bank accounts and seized her assets in 2015 as part of an investigation into allegations of corruption and money laundering. The investigation was sparked by a petition filed by a former aide to the former President, who alleged that Mrs. Jonathan had embezzled millions of dollars from the government.
Mrs. Jonathan has denied any wrongdoing and has accused the EFCC of harassment and persecution. She claims that the freezing of her bank accounts and the seizure of her assets were unlawful and were intended to embarrass and humiliate her.
The lawsuit is the latest development in a long-running legal battle between Mrs. Jonathan and the EFCC. The case is expected to be heard in court soon.
It's worth noting that the EFCC has denied any wrongdoing and has maintained that its actions were lawful and necessary to investigate allegations of corruption. The bank has also denied any wrongdoing and has claimed that it was simply carrying out its legal obligations as a financial institution.
The case highlights the ongoing controversy surrounding the EFCC's actions and the allegations of corruption and abuse of power that have been made against the agency.
