EFCC Declares Saraki’s Firm MD Wanted

Kennedy Izuagbe, a former director of Societe Generale Bank
Nigeria Plc and Managing Director of Bukola Saraki-owned Carlisle Properties
and Investment Limited, has been declared wanted by the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The Senate President was the former Executive Director of
Societe Generale Bank in Nigeria where he allegedly orchestrated a banking
fraud scheme to enrich himself and his family, according to police
investigations.

In a press statement, the EFCC said that Izuagbe, 45, who is
being investigated in a case of conspiracy and money laundering to the tune of
over N3.6 billion, has gone into hiding and all efforts to reach him have
proved futile.

“He is linked to the several shady deals and gross financial
misconducts that took place in the bank, in which several millions of naira
were granted as loan without due diligence,” the commission said.

“The suspect, who is believed to have fled the country, is a
native of Iviukhua village, near Agenebode, Etsako east local government area
of Edo state. “The EFCC enjoins members of the public with information on the
whereabouts of Izuagbe to contact any of its offices in Lagos, Abuja, Port
Harcourt, Enugu, Gombe and Kano, or the nearest police station,” the statement said.
