Militant group threatens to bomb NNPC if Patience Jonathan is arrested

The Niger Delta Peoples Professional Volunteer Force (NDPPVF) has said it would bomb the the headquarters of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) if the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arrests former First Lady, Patience Jonathan.

In a statement by its spokesperson, Parkinson George-Amabo, the group said the way EFCC is investigating Mrs. Jonathan is not acceptable.

“As a matter of fact, the EFCC has launched a criminal investigation of Mrs. Jonathan and in the process, frozen her bank accounts domiciled with a Nigerian commercial bank without affording her opportunity to state her own side of the matter,” the statement read.

It continued, “Recently, there have been calls on the Attorney-General of the Federation as well as the EFCC to arrest and prosecute the former First Lady for alleged money laundering.

“We shall simultaneously bomb the 4 wings of the NNPC Towers the day it is announced that Mrs. Patience Goodluck Jonathan has been arrested.

The group added that before her husband emerged as vice-president in 2007, “the EFCC investigated Mrs. Jonathan and cleared of any wrongdoing.”

The EFCC had frozen Skye Bank accounts linked to four companies and containing $15m, which Patience Jonathan had laid claim to.

The accounts were opened on her behalf by Waripamowei Dudafa, Jonathan’s special adviser on domestic affairs in the names of his domestic staff.

However, the EFCC had arraigned the four companies alongside Dudafa,  Amajuoyi Briggs, a lawyer; and Damola Bolodeoku, a Skye Bank official.

Patience Jonathan has also claimed the money was for her medical bill.
