EFCC Declares Ex-Power Minister, Olu Agunloye Wanted
By Haruna Yusuf
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC) has declared a former Minister of Power and Steel, Olu Agunloye, wanted over an alleged $ 6 billion fraud.
The EFCC had invited Agunloye for questioning over his role in the $6 billion Mambila hydropower contract.
Former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo had accused Agunloye of mismanaging the power project during his tenure from 1999 to 2003 and failed to brief him on the state of the project.
In the information shared by the EFCC, Agunloye’s image was displayed.
The EFCC message read, “Anybody with useful information as to his whereabouts should please contact the Commission in its Benin, Kaduna, Ibadan, Sokoto, Maiduguri, Mardi, Ilorin, Enugu, Kano, Lagos, Gombe, Uyo, Port Harcourt, and Abuja offices or contact 08093322644 or email info@efcc.gov.ng or the nearest police station and any other security agencies.”
In 2016, Agunloye joined the Social Democratic Party and became the party’s candidate in the state governorship election.
