The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared Abdullahi Bashir Haske, a businessman and son-in-law of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, wanted over alleged involvement in criminal conspiracy and money laundering.
In a public notice issued by the Commission’s Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, the EFCC called on Nigerians to assist in locating Haske, stressing that anyone with useful information should report to the nearest police station or any EFCC office nationwide.
“The public is hereby notified that ABDULLAHI BASHIR HASKE, whose photograph appears above, is wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in an alleged case of Criminal Conspiracy and Money Laundering,” the statement read.
According to the notice, Haske, 38, was last known to reside at No. 6 Mosley Road, Ikoyi, Lagos, and 952/953 Idejo Street, Victoria Island, Lagos State. His photograph was also released by the Commission to aid public identification.
The EFCC further appealed to members of the public to provide credible information that could lead to his arrest. The Commission urged Nigerians to report through its offices spread across major cities, including Ibadan, Uyo, Sokoto, Maiduguri, Benin, Makurdi, Kaduna, Ilorin, Enugu, Kano, Lagos, Gombe, Port Harcourt, and Abuja.
For ease of contact, the anti-graft agency also released its telephone line and email address for submission of vital information.
The declaration comes amid EFCC’s intensified efforts to clamp down on politically exposed persons and high-profile financial crime suspects across the country.
