It was learnt that the commission took the decision after Mompha, who has been facing charges for alleged money laundering to the tune of N6 billion, defied a court order.
Claims by the EFCC also revealed that Mompha travelled to Dubai with a new passport against the order of the court.
”Yes, we have declared him wanted. He has defied a court order by travelling out of the country despite having his passport seized.
