Ahead of their prosecution by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), former director-general of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), Ayo Oke, and his wife, Shade, have sneaked out of Nigeria, a report by TheCable indicated.
The pair’s arraignment was slated for Friday but according to the paper, they left the country’s shore last week “for medical reasons”.
Recall that the couple are enmeshed in fraud scandal after $43 million, £27,000 and N23 million stashed in a flat in Ikoyi were traced to them.
A three-man panel headed by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo indicted Oke and recommended his dismissal, which was effected in October same year.
Recently, the federal government ordered the couple’s prosecution by the EFCC.
