The former Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timipre Sylva, has written to the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC), asking the commission to give him a date for his appearance.
Sylva, a former governor of Bayelsa State, in a letter addressed to the EFCC chairman, frowned on the move by the commission to declare him wanted over alleged $14.8 million fraud.
The former minister, in the letter dated November 24, received and acknowledged by the EFCC on November 26, however, informed the commission that he is currently receiving urgent medical care for a life-threatening condition.

He said he was in constant consultation with his medical team to know whether he could discontinue his treatment to enable him to present himself to the EFCC for interrogation.
Sylva stated: “In view of the foregoing, I most humbly request that a mutually agreed date be set subject to medical clearance to enable me appear physically and formally.
“I trust that the objective of your invitation is not to unalive, but to genuinely investigate an alleged crime in which case my request will be in order. For only the living may appropriately, fully and responsibly respond to any allegation, which I firmly and respectfully deny.”
