EFCC May Declare Fugitive Pension Director Wanted Over💰 N22bn Fraud*
*
There are strong indications that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission may declare a pension fraud convict, John Yusuf, wanted for evading prison after the Court of Appeal, Abuja division, upheld his conviction for pension fraud.
A senior EFCC official, who expressed consternation over the development, confided in Sunday PUNCH that the commission decided to declare the convict wanted following his refusal to give himself up to either the anti-graft agency or the prisons service.
We are in the process of obtaining a court order to issue a warrant of arrest which would mandate every law enforcement agency to arrest him wherever he is found and return him to prison where he should be."
Yusuf was initially arraigned before Justice Abubakar Talba of the Federal Capital Territory High Court, Abuja, for stealing N32.8bn police pension fund in 2013.
Dismissing the objection by Yusuf's lawyer, the justices of the Court of Appeal held unanimously that the respondent admitted to the conversion of an aggregate sum of about N24bn for his personal use.
