The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has issued a wanted declaration for Mrs. Emefiele, along with three other individuals – Mr. Eric Odoh, Anita Omoile, and her husband, Jonathan Omoile. This announcement was made through a post on the agency’s official social media account on Friday night.
According to the anti-graft agency, these individuals are wanted for their alleged involvement in a conspiracy with the former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor to misappropriate significant sums of money belonging to the Federal Government of Nigeria. They are accused of committing offenses including obtaining money by false pretenses and stealing, actions which contravene Sections 411, 287, and 314 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State.
In a related development, the Federal Government has filed a 20-count charge against Emefiele at the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court in Maitama, Abuja. The charges against Emefiele now encompass allegations of criminal breach of trust, forgery, conspiracy to commit forgery, procurement fraud, and conspiracy to commit felony.
