EFCC RECEIVED FIRST PETITION AGAINST JONATHAN -READ DETAIL

Hon Ikenna Ejezie, former member Enugu State House has sent the first ever petition against the    former President Dr. Goodluck B. Jonathan,

requesting EFCC to invite, interrogate and possibly prosecute if found guilty. The detail of the petition as submitted to EFCC by his Lawyer,  Barrister Osuagwu Ugochukwu    

The petition read: “We are solicitors to Hon. Ikenna Ejezie hereinafter called our client and with you as he has instructed.

“Our client is requesting you to, in the public interest, invite ex-President Goodluck Jonathan for questioning and possible prosecution over his role in the misuse of $2.1billion through the Office of the National Security Adviser (Col. Sambo Dasuki rtd) and disbursement of N400million funds to Olisa Metuh for personal and private political party use.

“Our client notes that Dasuki had stated severally whilst in your commission that the $2.1billion was authorized for disbursement by ex-President Goodluck Jonathan for arms purchase, but later turned out to be for selfish purpose. Olisa Metuh also had admitted that former President Goodluck Jonathan transferred and/ or authorized release of N400million public funds to his account for political campaign of Jonathan rather than for public interest.

“Our client informed us that the confession of Olisa Metuh is contained in his criminal statement with the EFCC.

“Our client is thus shocked that in spite of the implication of ex-President Jonathan in the current prosecution of Metuh and Dasuki, the former President has not been invited for his statement to be taken nor has he been prosecuted by the EFCC as co-accused/ defendant.

“Our client herewith requests that the ex-President be invited for questioning and to commence prosecution as he was the one who did authorize the disbursement of the $2.1billion and N400million public funds that were illegally abused and misappropriated by Dasuki and Metuh who are both standing trial in various courts in Abuja.

“Our client demands that this request be responded to within seven days from the receipt of this letter and as quickly as possible.”

 EFCC admitted they have   received a copy of the letter from the affected individual, but  said it will be treated base on its merit.  Source from EFCC said, normally, once anyone drops a letter or a petition, we subject it to our due procedure of whether it has any merit or not.
