The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has declared former Petroleum Minister and Bayelsa State Governor, Timipre Sylva, wanted over an alleged $14,859,257 fraud.
Sylva is accused of conspiring to dishonestly convert funds provided by the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB), to Atlantic International Refinery and Petrochemical Limited for refinery construction.
On November 6, 2025, a Federal High Court in Lagos, presided over by Justice D.I. Dipeolu, issued a warrant for his arrest to ensure he appears before the Commission to answer the charges.
EFCC urged anyone with information on Sylva’s whereabouts to contact its zonal offices, the nearest police station, or other security agencies.
