Activist politician, Omoyele Sowore has said former Nigerian First Lady, Patience Jonathan should be in prison.
Sowore was reacting to the imprisonment of 15 domestic staff
of Mrs Jonathan for over six years.
The 15 staff members were jailed for over six years due to
alleged theft of Mrs Jonathan’s jewelries reportedly worth over N750 million.
While calling for concerted efforts to get them released,
Sowore wondered how the former First Lady got the funds to purchase such
jewelries.
Posting on his Facebook page, Sowore wrote: “Former Nigerian
first lady Patience Jonathan has detained 15 domestic staff members for over
six years while awaiting trial for allegedly stealing N750m worth of jewelry
from her.
“Where did she she get the funds to purchase jewelry valued
at N750 million?
“Nigeria appears to be the only country where alleged public
treasury looters have the audacity to arrest others accused of stealing a
portion of the funds they themselves looted from the public treasury.
“We must do everything to get them released from unjustified
prosecution. Patience Jonathan should be the one in prison.”
