Nigeria's ex first lady, Dame Patience Jonathan will soon be invited for questioning by the EFCC, Punch reports.
Patience had been embroiled in a tussle with the EFCC for freezing some $15m which she says belongs to her.
Sources at the agency said detectives visited the Skye Bank in Victoria Island where the questionable accounts were opened and that a prima facie money laundering and fraud case has been established against ex President Goodluck Jonathan's wife.
"We obtained the files from the bank and we realised that those accounts with the $15m were opened with fake identity cards, including driving licences," an EFCC agent said.
“We took the cards and went to the Federal Road Safety Corps to verify if the cards were authentic. We found out that the cards were fake. So, this is not just money laundering but a clear case of fraud," the agent added.
