Graft: EFCC files six-count charge against Sylva

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Friday filed a six-count charge of corruption against former Bayelsa State Governor, Timipre Sylva, at the Federal High Court, Abuja.

The commission accused Sylva of conspiring with others at large to fraudulently convert the property and financial resources of the state to personal use.
No date has been fixed for hearing.

Sylva has been locked in a bitter feud with President Goodluck Jonathan over his disqualification from the governorship primaries of the Peoples Democratic Party.wp_posts
