One of the suspects of fuel subsidy mess, Oluwaseun Ogunbambo, has flee to Canada in order to escape prosecution, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has alleged.
The anti-money laundering agency disclosed this to a Lagos High Court sitting in Ikeja, on Thursday. The EFCC said that oil marketer secretly left Nigeria to Canada to avoid being prosecuted for a case of an alleged N979.6 million subsidy fraud brought before Justice Adeniyi Onigbanjo.
However, counsel to the suspect dismissed the claims by the EFCC, noting that Ogunbambo was absent in court because he was recently attacked by some unidentified gunmen who had wanted to abduct him.
The judge has adjourned the matter till 28 April for ruling on the application.
