Efcc declares billionaire businessman wanted n23bn diezani bribe

Here's a summary of the article:

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared a billionaire businessman, Jide Omokore, wanted in connection with a N23 billion bribery scandal involving former Petroleum Minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke.

According to the EFCC, Omokore, who is a major player in the oil and gas industry, was involved in a massive bribery scheme during Diezani's tenure as Petroleum Minister. The commission alleged that Omokore and others conspired to bribe Diezani and other officials to secure lucrative oil contracts.

The EFCC said it had evidence that Omokore and his companies, including Atlantic Energy Drilling Concepts Nigeria Limited, paid N23 billion in bribes to Diezani and other officials to secure oil contracts worth over $1.7 billion.

The commission also alleged that Omokore used his companies to launder the bribe money, which was then used to fund his lavish lifestyle.

The EFCC has issued a warrant for Omokore's arrest and is urging the public to provide information that could lead to his capture.

This development is a significant step in the ongoing anti-corruption efforts in Nigeria, and it is hoped that it will bring those responsible for the alleged bribery and corruption to justice.

It's worth noting that Omokore has previously been linked to other corruption scandals, including the $1.1 billion Malabu oil deal, which involved the sale of a lucrative oil block to Eni and Shell.
