EFCC Declares Timipre Sylva Wanted Over $14.8m Fraud Probe
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared former Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timipre Sylva, wanted for an alleged $14.8 million fraud involving the NCDMB. Sylva has been placed on watchlists by the FBI, Interpol, and other security agencies.
The EFCC obtained a court warrant for Sylva's arrest in Lagos, with ongoing investigations into his activities. Sylva, a former governor of Bayelsa State and a chieftain of the APC, has faced recent controversies, including allegations of a coup plot.
The EFCC's actions stem from suspicions of corruption and financial mismanagement within the NCDMB, with key figures like Dele Oyewale and Julius Bokoru involved in the unfolding saga.
