Nigeria's former First Lady, Patience Jonathan, has been accused of detaining her domestic staffs over a missing jewelry item.
According to reports, Patience Jonathan detained 15 of her domestic staff members at Okaka Correctional Centre in Bayelsa State since 2019.
The staff were accused of stealing a missing jewelry item valued at $3 million.
Furthermore, reports claim that they were charged with armed robbery, malicious damage, attempted murder, and stealing, but their trial has stalled due to lack of concrete evidence.
Meanwhile, the unconfirmed report has sparked online outrage, prompting human rights activists to weigh in on the controversy.
