The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared Rabiu Auwalu Tijjani, a 43-year-old man from Kano State, wanted for his alleged involvement in financial crimes.
The announcement was made in a public notice shared on the commission’s official social media platform on Friday.
Tijjani, a native of Dala Local Government Area in Kano, is accused of conspiracy, obtaining money under false pretences, and money laundering amounting to $1,931,700.12 (One million, nine hundred and thirty-one thousand, seven hundred US dollars and twelve cents). The EFCC disclosed that his last known address was 59, Murtala Muhammed Way in Kano State.
The anti-graft agency has called on the public to assist in locating Tijjani by providing any useful information about his whereabouts.
Citizens were urged to contact the EFCC through its offices across the country or via the dedicated phone line, 08093322644. Additionally, tips can be sent via email to info@efcc.gov.ng or reported to the nearest police station or security agency.
The notice, signed by Dele Oyewale, the EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, emphasised the importance of public cooperation in apprehending suspects involved in financial crimes. The commission remains committed to tackling fraud and ensuring that individuals who engage in illicit financial activities are brought to justice.
This development underscores the EFCC’s ongoing efforts to combat economic crimes and uphold financial integrity in Nigeria. The agency continues to rely on public support to track down suspects and recover illicit funds, reinforcing its mandate to promote accountability and transparency in the country’s financial system.
