All attempt to locate the man in lagos and Abuja proof abortive

“The EFCC has finalised a plan to declare the former parastatal’s chief wanted, over a $2.1million money laundering case.
“The anti-graft agency has been on his trail for weeks, since a certain Ibiteye John Bamidele named him as the owner of a $2,198,900 haul, recovered from him by men of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA.
“Ibiteye was arrested on July 3, 2015 at the Murtala Mohammed Airport in Lagos by the NDLEA and handed over to the EFCC on July 8, for further investigation.
The suspect, upon interrogation, named as the owner of the money, but all efforts to locate him both in Lagos and his known address in Abuja proved futile.
“We have plans to declare the man wanted. We urge anyone with information on his whereabouts to contact the Commission or the nearest police station.”The Head of Media and Publicity of EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, said
