A former Minister of Power and Steel, Olu Agunloye, has been declared wanted by the Enonomic and Financial Crimes Commission over an alleged case of corruption and forgery.
This was disclosed in a post on X by the EFCC on Wednesday morning.
It read, “The public is hereby notified that Olu Agunloye, whose photograph appears above is wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in alleged case of corruption and forgery.
“Olu, 75, is from Akoko North Local Government Area of Ondo State.”

In a separate post, the EFCC also declared wanted one Iluyomade Tolulope Akinwale, 39, in an alleged case of obtaining money by false pretence.
The respective posts further urged anyone with useful information as to their whereabouts to contact the EFCC or the nearest police station.
