Reports say Patience Jonathan, Nigeria’s former First Lady, has rented a crowd of old women to protest against her accounts frozen by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Pictures obtained from Lagos showed that there were a lot of ageing women among those who were said to have been paid to ask for the ban on the account of the ex-president’s wife to be removed with immediate effect.
Nigerians have immediately reacted to the protest by the women at the court earlier today.

But Biko nu what’s $15m doing in Patience Jonathan’s bank account? What sort of gifts are that? Even 3wise men’s gift to Jesus wasn’t costly

EFCC should leave Patience Jonathan alone. Fed Govt is already bitting more than they can chew in Niger Delta.

Dasuki couldn’t have stolen $2.2bn – GEJ.
Jonathan was merely amazed Dasuki surpassed him and Patience Jonathan for stealing competition.
