For refusing to show up for trial as ordered by a Federal High Court 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.
The couple were expected by the judge to enter their plea over fraud charges filed against them by the anti-graft agency but they failed.
It will be recalled that Justice Chukwujeku Aneke of the Federal High Court, Lagos had on February 7, 2019, 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 the EFCC from an apartment at Osborne Road, Ikoyi, Lagos, in April 2017.
A statement by acting spokesman of the EFCC, said the couple were to answer to charges bordering on money laundering offence to the tune of N13 billion.
