The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared Ufoma Joseph Immanuel, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Chappal Energies, wanted over allegations of obtaining money by false pretence and forgery.
In a public notice issued on Wednesday, the anti-graft agency called on members of the public to assist in locating the 46-year-old Edo State indigene.
“The public is hereby notified that UFOMA JOSEPH IMMANUEL, whose photograph appears above, is wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in an alleged case of Obtaining Money by False Pretence and Forgery,” the statement read.
According to the commission, Immanuel’s last known address is 77, Nelson Mandela Street, Maitama, Abuja.
The EFCC urged anyone with credible information about his whereabouts to report to any of its offices nationwide, including those in Ibadan, Uyo, Sokoto, Maiduguri, Benin, Makurdi, Kaduna, Ilorin, Enugu, Kano, Lagos, Gombe, Port Harcourt and Abuja.
“Tip-offs can also be sent through the agency’s hotline, 08093322644, or via email at info@efcc.gov.ng,” the agency added.
Immanuel was appointed managing director of Chappal Petroleum Development Company in January 2021.
He is also listed as one of the founding partners of Chappal Energies, an ESG-focused independent energy company established to extract value from distressed brownfield upstream oil and gas assets in the Niger Delta.
Before joining Chappal, Immanuel served as Head of Corporate Finance and Strategy at Eroton Exploration and Production.
The development comes months after an $860 million divestment deal involving TotalEnergies and Chappal Energies collapsed, following reports that the latter failed to meet key financial obligations tied to the transaction.
As of press time, there was no official response from Immanuel or Chappal Energies regarding the EFCC’s declaration.
