More than a hundred women dressed in flamboyant attires on Monday morning stormed the Federal High Court in Lagos where the wife of former President Goodluck Jonathan, Patience, filed a N200m
lawsuit against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and five others.Patience filed the suit to reclaim a sum of $15m, which the EFCC seized from four companies last year.The companies were linked to a former Special Assistant to ex-President Jonathan on Domestic Affairs, Waripamo-Owei Dudafa.The EFCC froze the accounts of the companies last July in the course of probing Dudafa, who has now been charged with money laundering.Since Patience filed the suit seeking to take possession of the $15m late last year, the protesting women had been a regular feature on the court premises located along Oyinkan Abayomi Drive in Ikoyi each time the case came up for hearing.On Monday, like during the previous hearing days, the women, who were dressed in different colours of lace, ‘ankara’ fabrics and red or yellow headgears, turned the court premises into a carnival ground of sorts.
