The EFCC has uncovered fresh evidence against a big girl, Esther Oba, who is an alleged front and cousin of Dame Patience Jonathan, the wife of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan.
Ms. Oba recent came under serious investigation as she was identified as of the owners of account that has as much as N9billion, bearing the signature of Jonathan's wife.
The big girl, whom the EFCC has put on its watch list is said to been in possession of two Nigerian passport which bear two different signatures.
A source in the EFCC revealed that, "After we froze Patience Jonathan's accounts, a few months ago we continued to investigate the former First Lady. We then stumbled on some accounts, which did not bear her name but had her signature.
"We realised the one Esther Oba, who we believe is Patience's cousin, had been operating some accounts for her. The accounts had Oba's BVN but carried Patience's signature. So we began investigating Oba.
"We found out that Oba used two different passports in operating some of the accounts. The two passports are valid but carry different signatures. We immediately wrote a letter to Immigration to seek clarification... obviously this is a case of fraud."
Miss Oba is said to be on the run. "attempts to locate the so called big girl had proved abortive."
