A 90-year-old woman has pleaded with former First Lady Patience Jonathan to help secure the release of her daughter, Deborah Erema, who she says has been held in custody for over five years.
In a video published by SaharaTV on Friday, the frail nonagenarian cried out, saying she was starving and had no one else to care for her.
“Nobody go give me food, nah only her dey give me. I don’t have anybody. I just go beg beg. I am now a begger. See me as I dey now.
“Please release my daughter, make she go find food for me. Nah she dey give me food. I don beg tire. I don tire. Make una leave my pikin for me. If I die now, who go bury me. Nah only her I get,” she said.
Erema, a former aide to the ex-First Lady, is one of the aides alleged to have been involved in the disappearance of jewellery said to belong to Jonathan.
They have reportedly remained in custody for years while the case has faced repeated adjournments.
According to an earlier The PUNCH report, the case has been delayed in court over 40 times since it began
