N6.5billion Fraud: EFCC Moves Against Ex-Gov Sylva’s Wife
The
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Tuesday, said it has
gathered sufficient evidence to warrant the prosecution of wife of
former Governor of Bayelsa State, Mrs. Alayingi Sylva, on allegations of
corruption.
The
anti-graft agency made the disclosure on a day the embattled erstwhile
governor, Timipre Sylva, begged the Abuja Division of the Federal High
Court to grant him leave to accompany his wife to the United Kingdom to
enable her to undertake a surgical operation.
Sylva
who was recently granted administrated bail by the EFCC after he was
re-arrested in his Abuja residence over his alleged complicity in a
fresh allegation bothering on misappropriation and illegal diversion of
public funds whilst he was in power, yesterday, told the high court that
Cromwell Hospital in London has already scheduled his wife for an
operation on May 31.
