EFCC Seals Ex-Minister's Residence Over Corruption Probe
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) sealed the Abuja residence of former Minister Timipre Sylva and his family due to an ongoing investigation into an alleged misappropriation of $14.8 million meant for a refinery project in Bayelsa State. Sylva's camp criticized the EFCC's actions as unjust and politically motivated, warning against using the agency as a tool for political rivalry.
Sylva, a former governor of Bayelsa State, has been a loyal figure in Nigerian politics, including supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
