Justice Chukwujeku Aneke of the Federal High Court in Lagos, had on February 7, 2019, issued an arrest warrant on the couple, consequent upon an oral application by the counsel for the EFCC, Rotimi Oyedepo.
Ambassador Oke and his wife are wanted in connection with the sum of $43,449,947 as well as £27,800 and N23,218,000 cash recovered by the EFCC from an apartment at Osborne road in Ikoyi, Lagos state, in April 2017.
They are facing a four-count charge bordering on money laundering to the tune of N13 billion.
