(DDM) – The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared Abdullahi Bashir Haske, son-in-law of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, wanted.
Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) gathered that the anti-graft agency accused Haske of involvement in alleged criminal conspiracy and money laundering.
The notice was issued by Dele Oyewale, EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, on Thursday.
According to the statement, Haske, 38, is being sought in connection with a major financial investigation.
“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.
The EFCC urged Nigerians with relevant information to report to the nearest police station or any of its offices nationwide.
Haske was last known to reside at No. 6 Mosley Road, Ikoyi, and 952/953 Idejo Street, Victoria Island, both in Lagos State.
The agency published his photograph to aid identification and encourage public assistance in locating him.
Officials confirmed that the ongoing investigation involves multiple jurisdictions and substantial sums allegedly linked to illicit financial transactions.
The commission stressed that credible information could be provided through its regional offices across the country.
These offices include those in Ibadan, Uyo, Sokoto, Maiduguri, Benin, Makurdi, Kaduna, Ilorin, Enugu, Kano, Lagos, Gombe, Port Harcourt, and Abuja.
Nigerians can also contact the EFCC via its dedicated telephone lines or official email address.
This latest development comes amid heightened anti-corruption enforcement by the agency in recent months.
Political analysts note that Haske’s connection to Atiku Abubakar, a key opposition figure, could add political undertones to the case.
However, EFCC officials insist the investigation is purely legal and unrelated to political affiliations.
The agency recently intensified its pursuit of high-profile suspects linked to financial mismanagement and fraud.
Observers believe the manhunt for Haske underscores EFCC’s renewed resolve to prosecute economic crimes swiftly.
As at press time, neither Atiku nor his representatives had issued an official statement regarding the allegations.
