The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared Mr Christopher Enweremadu, a former commissioner under the administration of ex-Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State, wanted for alleged misappropriation of public funds.

The EFCC, while declaring Enweremadu wanted, noted that the 58-year-old man, is accused of stealing, diversion of public funds, criminal conspiracy and money laundering.
