The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is currently investigating how former First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan got N300 million contract from some government agencies through three unregistered companies.
According to The Nation, the unregistered companies are Euroricia Concept Limited, Pasturage Vert and Mabelt Construction Limited.
Mrs Jonathan is believed to have used one of the firms to obtain contracts of over N300 million from the Nigerian Prison Service (NPS), including the fencing of Kuje Prison and supply of beddings.
The paper quoted an EFCC source as saying, “Contracts were given to companies owned by her but not registered.
“Our detectives went to the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), searched the database and discovered that these companies were unregistered.
“The companies are Euroricia Concept Limited, Pasturage Vert and Mabelt Construction Limited. Funds were diverted into these companies from some government agencies, including the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs, the Nigerian Prison Service (NPS) and the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA).”
