The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has seized a hotel allegedly belonging to Mrs. Patience Jonathan, the wifeof former President Goodluck Jonathan.
The anti-graft agency also seized three other properties in Abuja allegedly belonging to Patience.The five-storey hotel is located near Setraco Construction Company, beside Mabushi KadoExpressway.
Although the hotel has not been officially valued by the EFCC, some estate agents within the community told Punch correspondent that the property should be worth about N2bn.The property, which has not been officially opened, has between 50 to 100 rooms, a gymnasium, a fountain and other amenities.Punch correspondent, who visited the property on Friday, observed the red inscription, ‘EFCC Under Investigation’ all overthe hotel.
One of the mechanics working at a filling station located next to the property said Mrs. Jonathan used to visit the hotel in the past but had not come around since January.He said, “She used to come here frequently but she has not come in the last six months.
The hotel is supposed to have been opened for business but for some reason, they have not done so. It has not even been given a name yet.”The commission also seized Mrs. Jonathan’s properties in Karsana, Wasa and Idogwari areas of Abuja.
The anti-graft agency is also on the verge of seizing her properties in Port Harcourt and Yenagoa.Patience first came under EFCC investigation in May 2016 when the commission arrested aformer Special Adviser to the President on Domestic Affairs, Waripamowei Dudafa.
