The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared wanted a former Presidential aspirant for Nigerian Liberation Party (NLP), Emmanuel Osita Okereke, for jumping bail.

According to the EFCC's Head of Media and Publicity, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, Okereke was arraigned on November 21, 2013 before Justice J. Y. Tukur of the FCT High Court, Apo, Abuja, for allegedly forging a document of the Federal Government titled: “Restricted, Federal Government of Nigeria, National Task Force.”
