Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared Margaret Emefiele, wife of Godwin Emefiele, the former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, wanted.
Gatekeepers News reports that Emefiele’s wife’s photo and three others were published on Friday by the EFCC for alleged money laundering.
The three other persons were identified as Eric Ocheme Odoh, Anita Joy Omoile, and Jonathan Omoile.
The EFCC’s head of media and publicity, Dele Oyewale in the notice said the quartet allegedly colluded with the former CBN governor to divert “huge sums” from the federal government coffers.
The notice read, “The public is hereby notified that persons whose photographs appear above are wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for allegedly conspiring with a former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, to convert huge sums of money belonging to the federal government of Nigeria and committed felony to wit; obtaining money by false pretences and stealing contrary to and punishable under Sections 411, 287 and 314 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State.”
Margaret, Anita and Jonathan were listed as indigenes of Delta state while Odoh is said to be from Benue.
Jonathan is said to be the chief executive officer of Exact Quote BDC Limited while Anita is listed as the CEO of Deepblue Energy Services Ltd and Lipam Investment Services Ltd.
The EFCC asked the public to contact its offices across Nigeria to provide “useful information as to their whereabouts.”
On January 18, the federal government amended the criminal charges filed against the former CBN governor.
The charges, formerly six counts, were increased to 20 counts.
They border on alleged criminal breach of trust, forgery, conspiracy to commit forgery, procurement fraud and conspiracy to commit a felony.
