It's good for our democracy, whosoever that stole should be punished for their actions -kindly let it be extended to others who stole our treasury dried and are still working free

Would also be interested to know how Patience Jonathan was able to steal funds without her husband’s knowledge. And in the likely event he knew, how much the former president himself may have stolen in addition? https://t.co/URPcWh596h

Good news to know Patience Jonathan is returning stolen funds. Would be great if citizens knew a few things:

1. What process have been put in place since 2015 to ensure such brazen, wanton theft of public funds is no longer possible?

2. What will happen to recovered funds? https://t.co/ebU8Acyhu8
