The commission, in a statement released to Vanguard in Abuja, also declared the son of the former governor, Abdulaziz, wanted.

The statement, which was signed by the Head of Media and Publicity of EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, said Nyako and his son were wanted in connection with a case of criminal conspiracy, stealing, abuse of office and money laundering.

The commission did not, however, say in which case the two men were implicated, raising suspicion that it might be connected with the alleged looting of the state, which led to the impeachment of the former governor in July last year.

EFCC also said it would prosecute six men said to have swindled a businessman of N115 million under the guise of securing a crude oil supply deal with Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC.
