The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) has declared two persons, accused of defrauding the federal
government through bogus oil subsidy claims, wanted.
The suspects are Seun Ogunbambo
and Habila Theck, the Managing Director and General Manager, Operations, of
Fargo Petroleum and Gas Limited respectively.
Both of them are wanted in
connection with a case of conspiracy, forgery and obtaining the sum of
N976,653,110.28 from the Petroleum Support Fund (PSF) by false pretence.
A statement by the EFCC acting
head, media and publicity, Wilson Uwujaren, in Abuja on Tuesday, said the duo
have been standing trial before a Lagos State High Court but disappeared after
being released on bail, compelling the court to issue a warrant for their
arrest.
The statement added that
Ogunbambo is light-complexioned, speaks English and a Yoruba native, while
Theck is fluent in English and Hausa languages. Ogunbambo’s last known
address is 2 Olamiyuyan Crescent, Ikoyi, Lagos while Theck’s is 89 Buck Field,
Yaba, Lagos.
