Speaking through her counsel, Mrs. Jonathan argued that the seized money were cash gifts she received when her husband was in office and not proceeds of crime. She appealed to Justice Mojisola Olatoregun to dismiss the application by the EFCC, praying that the money be permanently forfeited to the federal government. She argued that it was wrong for the antigraft agency to tag her money as proceeds of crime as they have not been able to substantiate their claims that she was engaged in financial crimes while her husband served as President.
