declared wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

in a case of conspiracy and money laundering to the tune of over N3.6
billion, has gone into hiding and all efforts to reach him have proved
abortive.

granted as loan without due diligence.

fled the country, is a native of Iviukhua village, near Agenebode,
Etsako East Local Government Area of Edo State.
“The EFCC enjoins members of the public
