The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has declared a former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Sadiya Umar-Farouq, wanted over alleged fraud.

The spokesperson urged members of the public with information on her whereabouts to contact the commission.
