The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has announced that Bolaji Henry Akinduro, an oil mogul and executive chairman of Total Grace Oil and Gas Investment Limited, is wanted for fraud. This news was shared in a circular signed by the agency’s Media and Publicity officer, Dele Oyewale, on Friday.
The EFCC statement reads: “The public is hereby notified that BOLAJI HENRY AKINDURO, whose photograph appears above is wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in an alleged case of Obtaining Money under False Pretense, and Stealing by Conversion.
