In January, the EFCC declared him
wanted in connection with the diversion of state funds amounting to N15
billion. When he could not be arrested, his son, Abdulaziz, was declared wanted
in February this year, claiming that his father used him to siphon state
resources.
Several top officials, who worked
under Nyako, have also been questioned by the EFCC over alleged money
laundering but none has been prosecuted or convicted by the agency.
