When she was are aligned on December 19, 2019, Adanu pleaded not guilty to the charge.
However, Justice Mojisola Dada revoked her bail and ordered the EFCC to declare her wanted on Thursday.
The judge adjourned the case until December 2 for adoption of the final written address.
EFCC counsel, Samuel Daji said the case slated for adoption of final written address could not go on due to Adanu’s absence.
The agency’s lawyer therefore moved an application urging the court to revoke the bail.
The defence counsel, Olarenwaju Ajanaku did not oppose the application of the prosecution.
Ajanaku told the judge that he too was surprised that his client did not show up in court.
Adanu is accused of trading under Emerald Multipurpose Cooperative Society to defraud one Favour Nnamani.
Her alleged offence violates Section 1(1) and 1(3) of the Advance Fee Fraud Act 2006, and Section 278 of the Criminal Law of Lagos 2011.
