For refusing to show up for
trial as ordered by a federal judge, the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC, has declared a former Director General of the National
Intelligence Agency, NIA, Ayodele Oke, and his wife, Folasade, wanted.
Ayodele Oke
The couple was expected by
the judge to enter their plea over fraud charges filed against them by the
anti-graft agency, which they did not.
It will be recalled that
Justice Chukwujeku Aneke of the Federal High Court, Lagos, had on February 7,
issued an arrest warrant on them following an oral application by counsel for
the EFCC, Rotimi Oyedepo.
Oke and his wife are wanted
in connection with the $43,449,947, £27,800 and N23,218,000 cash recovered by
EFCC from an apartment at Osborne Road, Ikoyi, Lagos, in April 2017.
