A former Minister of Power and Steel, Dr Olu Agunloye, has been declared wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC.

The minister who hails from Akoko North Local Government Area of Ondo State was declared wanted by the anti-graft agency over an alleged case of corruption and forgery.
