A former Minister of Power and Steel, former Minister of State for Defence in Nigeria, Dr. Olu Agunloye, has been declared wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
Agunloye, who hails from Akoko North Local Government Area of Ondo State, was declared wanted by the anti-graft agency over an alleged case of corruption and forgery.
Agunloye was reportedly questioned by the EFCC in September regarding a purported $6 billion build, operate, and transfer contract.
On Wednesday, the commission disclosed on its website while notifying the public.
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.
