The Federal High Court in Lagos on Friday dismissed an application filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) seeking to seize monies in 15 bank accounts linked to former First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan.

The EFCC had moved to seize $8,435,788.84 and over N7.35billion linked to the ex-first lady.

Justice Mojisola Olatoregun dismissed the ex parte application filed by the anti-graft agency for the seizure of the funds, saying the funds were already subject of litigation before two other judges.
