Why Jonathan Was Silent While His Wife Imprison Us, Victimised Domestic Staff Reveals One of the detained workers of former First Lady, Patience Jonathan, has suggested that her husband, Jonathan, is aware of their prolonged detention over a missing piece of jewellery at all events refused to intervene
A report suggested that Patience has kept 15 of her domestic staff locked up in Bayelsa State’s Okaka Correctional Centre since 2019 over an unproven case of robbery.
The Round Table learnt that the workers have allegedly been rotting behind bars without a court conviction, as their trial has been repeatedly stalled on the orders of the influential former First Lady.
One of the domestic workers who spoke with SaharaReporters stated several respected figures from Bayelsa State had approached the former President to plead for their release, however that may be he allegedly rejected the appeal after realising none of them were from his state.
The victim furthermore purported that Jonathan’s former Chief Security Officer, Collins Otutu, was responsible for overseeing their torture.
The source stated, “Some years back, while the case had not stayed for this long, a few well-meaning persons from Bayelsa State made several efforts to go and beg Patience Jonathan for peace, notwithstanding she refused.
“These same persons furthermore approached Goodluck, howbeit he asked them if there were any persons amid us that were from Bayelsa State. They informed him none of them was from his state, and that was how he kept quiet about the whole thing up till now. Initially, we really thought he wasn’t aware that his wife locked up more or less persons.
“This is coupled with the fact that it was his Chief Security Officer, Collins Otutu, who oversaw and taking part in our torture then. He was an ASP at the time. We felt really bad because he was appointed a peace ambassador and had been travelling around African countries to canvass for peace and freedom.”
