Former Minister of State for Petroleum, Chief Timipre Sylva, has written to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission seeking a mutually agreed date to honour its invitation over an alleged $14.8m fraud.

Sylva, in a letter he personally signed and addressed to the EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, faulted the commission’s move to declare him wanted, saying he had never shunned any lawful invitation.

The letter, dated November 24 and acknowledged by the EFCC on November 26, stated that he was currently receiving urgent medical care for a “life-threatening condition.”

He said he was consulting his medical team to determine whether he could temporarily suspend treatment to appear before the commission. Punch
