Months after the arrest and arraignment of former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr. Godwin Emefiele, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), on Friday night, declared his wife, Margaret, wanted for money laundering.
Margaret Emefiele was not the only one declared wanted.
