The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has issued a wanted list for Dr. Olu Agunloye, a former minister of power and steel.
The anti-graft agency issued a wanted statement for the minister, who is from Ondo State’s Akoko North Local Government Area, in relation to a suspected case of corruption and forgery.
According to reports, Agunloye was questioned by the EFCC in September on a purported $6 billion Build, Operate and Transfer contract.
The public was informed by the commission on Wednesday and this was made public on its website.
Agunloye’s picture was shown in the material that the EFCC released.
The message from the EFCC said, “Anyone with useful information regarding his whereabouts should please contact the Commission at its offices in Abuja, Lagos, Gombe, Uyo, Port Harcourt, Enugu, Kano, Kaduna, Ibadan, Sokoto, Maiduguri, Mardi, Ilorin, Enugu, Kano, or by calling 08093322644 or emailing info@efcc.gov.ng.”
Agunloye joined the Social Democratic Party in 2016 and ran as the group’s nominee for governor of the state.
