Former President Jonathan has ignored the pleas to free us from prison since 2019 because we are not from Bayelsa-the domestic worker victimized by the woman patience

One of the kept workers told how several respected figures from the Bayelsa state approached the former president to plead for their release, but he allegedly rejected the appeal when he realized that none of them was from his state. Former President Goodluck Jonathan allegedly refused to intervene in the long -standing detention of 15 domestic workers, which was captured by his wife, Patience Jonathan, over a missing jewelry, because none of them came from his home state, Bayelsa. One of the kept workers told how several respected figures from the Bayelsa state approached the former president to plead for their release, but he allegedly rejected the appeal when he realized that none of them was from his state. “Some years back, although the case has not stayed for so long, some well-meaning people from the Bayelsa state have made several attempts to beg Jonathan for peace, but she refused,” the source said. “The same people also approached Goodluck, but he asked them if there are persons among us who are from the Bayelsa state. They told him that none of them were out of his state, and that was how he kept quiet about the whole thing so far. Initially, we really thought he was unaware that his wife had locked up some persons. ‘ The victim also claimed that Jonathan’s former chief safety officer, Collins Otutu, was responsible for overseeing their torture. “It was accompanied by the fact that it was his chief safety officer, Collins Otutu, who supervised our torture. He was a ASP at the time. We felt really bad because he was appointed as a peace ambassador and traveled in Africa countries to plead for peace and freedom,” the victim said. Saharan Porters had earlier exposed how the domestic workers had rotten in Okaka Correctional Center since 2019 after being accused of stealing jewelry belonging to the former first lady. Despite the constitutional suspicion of innocence, they were denied their freedom, as the trial was repeatedly established about the orders of patience Jonathan, who remains very influential in the Bayelsa state. Sources familiar with the case have created the alarm and urgently requested intervention to ensure justice for the kept workers. “Since 2019, former first lady Patience Jonathan has locked up about 16 of her domestic staff in Okaka prison for allegedly stealing her jewelry, without even allowing a capable court to sentence them.” A few years ago, Tech4 was able to provide justice regards for them, which they have done ever since. But since the current chief justice came on board, she deliberately dragged the case on the patience of Jonathan’s instructions. She is a stoog of the former first lady, “said one of the sources. A family member of one of the detained domestic workers who spoke to Saharan Porters said: ‘They are in the Okaka prison in Yenagoa, Bayelsa. They are 15 in number and have been in prison since 2019. They were domestic workers for former First Lady, Patience Jonathan. “In 2019, there was a case of breaking and entering one of her apartments in Otuoke, and she decided to arrest all her workers – even if they didn’t work in that apartment at the time.” Since then, there has been no evidence to prove the case in court, and the case is not on. They say keep saying that they are waiting for witnesses to come forward to this day. “They are charged with armed robbery, malicious damage, attempted murder, stealing, and so on. But there is no evidence!” The source added. EMEKA BENSON.
