The court has said the money was suspected to be proceeds of crime.

The EFCC had also frozen four companies’ accounts in Skye Bank with a balance of $15,591,700 while investigating a former Special Adviser to ex-President Jonathan on Domestic Affairs, Waripamowei Dudafa.

Mrs. Jonathan had sued the EFCC claiming that the money belonged to her, while claiming they were gifts to her while ex-President Jonathan was in government.
