Four companies involved in a money laundering case linked to former First Lady, Patience Jonathan, pleaded guilty before Justice Babs Kuewumi of a Federal High Court in Lagos today.
The four companies- Pluto Property and Investment Company Limited; Seagate Property Development and Investment Company Limited; Trans Ocean Property and Investment Company Limited; and Avalon Global Property Development Company Limited; all pleaded guilty to conspiring with former Special Adviser on Domestic Affairs to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Waripamo Dudafa, and two others to launder the sum of $15, 591,700.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission had since frozen the $15.6m found in the four companies’ accounts in Skye Bank. But wife of ex-President Jonathan, Patience, has sued the EFCC and Skye Bank, laying claims to the money.
