Nigeria's Former First Lady Patience Jonathan's name has come up in a petition demanding justice for political killings in Rivers state, according to Sahara Reporters.
The Civil Society Network Against Corruption (CSNAC) petitioned International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor, Madam Amie Bensouda, to investigate, arrest and prosecute Dame Patience and other persons it believes are connected with the gruesome murders, grievous bodily harm and assault of indigenes of Rivers State during the 2015 general election in the State.
“The wife of the former president, Mrs. Patience Jonathan, was fingered in misuse of state apparatuses and abuse of power during campaigns, resulting in the wanton killings and infliction of grievous bodily harm on several citizens in Rivers State. Journalists on professional assignment were not spared in a wanton destruction of properties, disruption of campaigns and attack on human persons,” Mr. Olanrewaju Suraju, spokesman of the group said.
“The various criminal acts were perpetrated with the alleged support of Dame Patience Jonathan, wife of the former president. The said onslaught was allegedly coordinated by AIG Mbu Joseph Mbu, the Assistant Inspector General of Police (then Commissioner of Police of Rivers State Command) and Deputy Commissioner of Police John Amadi, now posted to Nigerian Railways Corporation, Lagos (then the Deputy Commissioner of Operations in Rivers State).”
