EFCC Declares Atiku Abubakar’s Son-in-Law Wanted for Alleged Money Laundering
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has officially declared Abdullahi Bashir Haske, son-in-law to former Nigerian Vice President Atiku Abubakar, wanted. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
In a public notice shared via the EFCC’s verified X (formerly Twitter) account, the anti-graft agency stated that Haske is wanted in connection with allegations of criminal conspiracy and money laundering.
According to the EFCC, the 38-year-old’s last known address was in Ikoyi, Lagos, and the commission is calling on members of the public to assist with credible information regarding his whereabouts.
“Anyone with useful details on his location is urged to contact the nearest EFCC office or law enforcement agency,” the statement added.
This development comes on the heels of the commission’s recent actions, including the high-profile detention of former Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, over alleged involvement in suspicious cash withdrawals amounting to ₦189 billion. Tambuwal was later released after fulfilling his bail conditions.
The EFCC’s increased activity highlights an intensified crackdown on financial crimes involving politically exposed individuals.
