Ex-Minister Timipre Sylva Challenges Fraud Allegations Amid Health Concerns

Former Minister of State for Petroleum, Timipre Sylva, has written to the EFCC challenging a 'wanted' notice issued against him over a $14.8 million fraud allegation. Sylva requested a fresh appointment date due to urgent medical treatment for life-threatening conditions.

He denies the fraud accusations and expresses distress over the situation, linking it to an alleged attempt to undermine Bola Tinubu. The EFCC had named Sylva as 'wanted' on November 10, leading to the arrest of several individuals, including his brother and driver.

Sylva insists on his innocence and warns against what he perceives as a political witch hunt.
