Shocking: Nigeria will fall if Patience Jonathan is arrested, Group warns

Patient Jonathan

The group, NDPPVF made it clear that its members are workers in the various oil and gas industries across the nation, stressing that they will blow up the headquarters of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) with explosives if EFCC made any arrest of the former Nigeria first lady.

According to Vanguard report the militant group accused the anti-graft agency of witch-hunting the former first lady. again an online report coming from 'TheCable', advised EFCC to lift the No Debit Order imposed on her Skye Bank accounts, which has more than $15 million in it, was earlier confirmed by the former first lady that the money was meant for her health issues. 

The group however said it is not in support of corruption, but only consign about the manner in which the agency is carrying out their investigation on Patience Jonathan who the group said had an "impressive and fortuitous pedigree". 

A statement made by the group is as follow "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".

"Nobody is above the law, The NDPPVF does not support or condone corruption. If Mrs. Jonathan was found to be corrupt, we shall not hesitate to call for her prosecution". 

"We, however, have a grouse with the modus operandi of Mrs. Jonathan’s investigation, given her status as the wife of a former deputy governor, former governor, former vice-president, former acting president and finally, former president. She is perhaps, the only Nigerian woman dead or alive with such an impressive and fortuitous pedigree; which accounts for why the EFCC needs to thread with caution". 

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

The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crime's Commission however told the former first lady that it's commission is going to investigate the said amount carefully.
