The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has declared a former Minister of Petroleum Resources and former Governor of Bayelsa State, Timipre Sylva wanted.

Sylva is wanted in connection with an alleged case of conspiracy and dishonest conversion of $14,859,257( Fourteen Million, Eight Hundred and Fifty Nine Thousand, Two Hundred and Fifty Seven United States Dollars), being part of funds injected by the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board( NCDMB) into Atlantic International Refinery and Petrochemical Limited for the construction of a Refinery.

The Commission, on November 6, 2025 secured a warrant for the arrest of the former Minister at a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos. The Order, granted by Justice D.I. Dipeolu stated that, “an order is made issuing a warrant to the Applicant or any Officer of the Commission, Police or any law enforcement officer for the arrest of the Respondent for the purpose of bringing him before the Commission to answer to the criminal offence he is alleged to have committed.”

The Commission also enjoins anyone with useful information on his whereabouts to contact any of its Zonal Directorates across the country or the nearest Police Station and other security agencies.

It may not be unconnected with the coup news. There's some iota of truth in every rumour.

The man is rumoured to be one of the major financiers of the failed coup. The coup plot really happened 💯💯

Many former governors have embezzled Nigeria clean. It's so unfortunate.

We keep saying it. Peter Obi is clean. If not, EFCC would have declared his generation wanted.

Why are people weeping because I mentioned Obi?
Obi has no whiff of a scandal. Unfortunately, we can't say the same for BAT.

Nobody actually loves this country. Everyone is looking for means to steal from this country. What's so special about keeping a country nobody loves? Nobody has been able to answer this question.

What was the EFCC doing before he went to the airport and left the country? Of all the government agencies, I think the EFCC is the most useless.

So, when we break up this country, una think say people will love their new countries?

The problem with Africa is everyone thinks that government exists to share money. That's the reason behind Biafra, make we no lie...Biafra is there because advocates think they will get more oil money...which is why others oppose it, because they will lose out.

Meanwhile, if we tell Nigerians that they need to pay more tax or produce more, they will accuse you of being agbero.

Let's get rid of our sharing national cake mentality, then we can talk about break up. Anything else is inviting anarchy.

Read the allegation. It has little to do with him being a former governor seeing as they are mentioning a refinery.

The theft is likely connected to when he was minister of state for petroleum under Buhari.

You think say people cannot work across tribes.? See your parties for example. Northerners and Southerners together.

Even when we had Northerns ruling us, they did it with the support of southerners in the millitary ansd civillan life, otherwise we would have had 30 years of civil war.

They know where he is. They should extradict him. No one is invincible now. This is where we have problems in this country. He will stay away until another government comes back, and probably have many friends within, so that he can negotiate his way through. But as it stands, he will be somewhere in south America, enjoying his loot.
