The Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) yesterday said it froze the account of a business woman, Mrs Bola Shagaya, due to intelligence report that she laundered billions of naira for former first lady, Dame Patience Jonathan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The anti-graft agency stated this in its counter affidavit to a motion filed by Shagaya before the Federal High Court, Lagos challenging the freezing of her account.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
Bola Shagaya urged the court to set aside the order freezing her bank accounts in Unity Bank Plc.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In the affidavit filed and sworn to by a litigation officer,\u00a0 Sulaiman Ali, and filed before the court by a Lagos lawyer Mr Napoleon Emeaso-Nwachukwu, the deponent averred that sometimes in October and November 2016, Hajiya Bola Shagaya issued several instructions to her bank in respect of third party transactions, but to the applicant chagrin, the said payment instructions were declined by her bank in spite of the fact that the applicant (Bola Shagaya) had enough money standing to her credit with her bank to cover the payment instructions prior to issuing the instructions.<\/p>\n

The deponent said that upon enquiry the bank intimated Shagaya that it received a letter from EFCC directing it to place a Post No Debit on her account with it.<\/p>\n

Consequently, the applicant said it would be the interest of Justice for the court to set aside the order.<\/p>\n

However, in a counter affidavit sworn to by an operative of the EFCC, Mr Musbahu Yahaya Abubakar, and filed before the court by EFCC legal officer Barrister Idris Abdullahi Mohammed, the commission said the funds transferred to Mrs Dame Patience Jonathan are parts of the funds paid to her for facilitating allocation of DPK to Index Petrolube Africa Company.<\/p>\n

The commission further averred that the applicant has refused to honour EFCC invitation to enable the anti-graft agency to confront her with its findings of investigation.<\/p>\n

Consequently, EFCC urged the court to refuse Shagaya\u2019s application and dismiss same as the application is not only frivolous, but an abuse of court process, and time wasting.<\/p>\n

After the adoption of the written addresses of the two parties today, the presiding judge Oluremi Oguntoyinbo adjourned till May 17, for judgement.<\/p>\n
