EFCC declares Sunrise Power promoter, Leno Adesanya, wanted over $6bn Mambilla project

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Tuesday, declared the promoter of Sunrise Power and Transmission Limited, Leno Adesanya, wanted for alleged “conspiracy and corrupt offer to public officers” over the $6 billion Mambilla hydropower contract.

In a notice issued by anti-graft agency, Adesanya was mentioned in three of seven count charges against former Minister of Power and Steel, Olu Agunloye, who is being prosecuted by the EFCC over the same contract scam.

The former minister was arraigned by the EFCC in January on seven-count charges bordering on the fraudulent award of a contract and official corruption.
