EFCC declares Atiku’s son-in-law wanted over ‘money laundering’
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 for alleged criminal conspiracy and money laundering.
In a statement on X issued by Dele Oyewale, its spokesperson, on Friday, the anti-graft agency appealed to the public for information that could lead to Haske’s arrest.
“The public is hereby notified that Abdullahi Bashir Haske, whose photograph appears above, is wanted by the EFCC in an alleged case of criminal conspiracy and money laundering,” the notice read.
Haske, 38, was last known to reside at No. 6 Mosley Road, Ikoyi, and 952/953 Idejo Street, Victoria Island, Lagos.
The EFCC urged Nigerians with useful information to report to any of its offices nationwide — including Abuja, Lagos, Kano, and Port Harcourt — or reach the commission through its dedicated telephone lines and email address.
Money laundering, under Nigerian law, involves disguising or processing the proceeds of crime to make them appear legitimate.
The practice typically includes moving illicit funds through banks, shell companies, or real estate transactions to conceal their criminal origins.
