The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has issued a declaration naming Margaret Emefiele, wife of former Central Bank of Nigeria Governor Godwin Emefiele, along with Eric Odoh, Anita Omoile, and her husband Jonathan Omoile, as wanted for alleged involvement in money laundering.
The accusations include conspiring with the ex-CBN Governor to convert substantial sums of money belonging to the Federal Government of Nigeria.
The EFCC urges anyone with information on their whereabouts to contact the nearest EFCC Command or police station.
The unfolding financial scandal involves a mugshot portrait of the suspects, revealing their alleged offenses related to economic and financial crimes.
In a related development, Godwin Emefiele is facing charges for ₦1.8bn and $6.2m fraud, with the EFCC accusing him of impersonating the Secretary to the Government of the Federation to obtain the latter sum illegally.
The amended charge sheet also alleges that Emefiele forged documents, committed fraud, and conferred corrupt advantage on his wife and brother-in-law.
The judge has adjourned the case for Emefiele to take his plea on the amended charges, which now total 20 counts.
This revelation adds another layer to the legal challenges faced by the former CBN Governor, raising questions about the potential implications for the financial sector and the broader Nigerian economy.
