The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC has declared former governor of Kogi State , Abubakar Audu wanted
for offences bordering on conspiracy, stealing and misappropriation of public
fund.
The action followed the failure of the
suspect to respond to invitation by the anti- graft agency.
Attempt by the EFCC to arrest Audu at his
32, Sulaiman Barau Street , Asokoro, Abuja residence on December 11, 2012
failed as he allegedly evaded arrest.
The former governor is alleged to have
fraudulently enriched himself to the tune of over N4 billion while he held sway
as governor of Kogi State between 1999 and 2003.
The move to arrest the ex- governor
followed a Supreme Court ruling of November 23, 2012, which dismissed the
ex-governor's appeal to continue to protract his corruption trial by EFCC.
The Commission implores any one having
useful information about the whereabouts of the suspect to notify its offices
in Abuja , Port Harcourt , Lagos , Kano and Enugu or report at the nearest
police station.
