ABUJA — The Department of State Services, DSS, yesterday, arraigned five alleged associates of a former governor of Bayelsa State, Timipre Sylva, for concealing his whereabouts after he was implicated as a financier of an alleged plot to overthrow the administration of President Bola Tinubu through a coup d’état.
Sylva, who also served as Minister of State for Petroleum Resources under the late former President Muhammadu Buhari, was said to be at large after escaping from the country before the alleged coup plot was leaked.
He had since been declared wanted by the Federal Government, which has also moved to confiscate some of his identified properties.
