EFCCThe Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has declared Abdullahi Bashir Haske, businessman and son-in-law of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, wanted for alleged criminal conspiracy and money laundering.
The EFCC made the declaration in a notice issued by its spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, urged members of the public to provide any information that could lead to Haske’s arrest.
Oyewale said Haske was granted administrative bail but failed to comply with its terms even as he dismissed insinuations on any link with Atiku’s political ambition.
“Haske is someone we have been investigating for so many years. He is on administrative bail but he jumped the process and we declared him wanted. How can anybody be insinuating that?” Oyewale
“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 commission announced.
The EFCC said that Haske, 38, was last traced to No. 6 Mosley Road, Ikoyi, and 952/953 Idejo Street, Victoria Island, Lagos.
The commission appealed to the public to reach out 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 with useful information.
It stated that information could also be shared via the EFCC’s dedicated telephone line and email address.
Recall that Haske came under the anti-graft Commission’s searchlight and investigation when a whopping $21 million was reportedly traced to his account.
He was said, in sundry media reports, to have told the EFCC during preliminary investigations, that the money belonged to the Group Chief Executive Officer, GCEO, of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, Engineer Bashir Bayo Ojulari.
