The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed an appeal filed by Former First Lady, Mrs Patience Jonathan to upturn the 8.4 million U.S. dollars interim order of forfeiture made against her.
Justice Ejembi Eko, in a unanimous ruling held that it was incumbent on the appellant to prove before the trial court while the order should not be made permanent.
“The appellant should go back to the trial court and show cause while the forfeiture order should not be made permanent.
“The panel has weighed the arguments canvassed by parties and is convinced that the appeal lacks merit and is hereby dismissed’’, he said.
