FBI offers $10,000 reward for Nigerian fraud suspect on the run since 2001
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has announced a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Nigerian national, Olumide Adebiyi Adediran, who has been on the run for more than two decades.
Adediran, 56, is facing charges of bank fraud, identity document fraud, and credit card fraud linked to crimes committed in Illinois in 2001. According to the FBI, he allegedly attempted to cash fraudulent cheques and used stolen identities of U.S. citizens to open bank and charge accounts.
He fled the Central District of Illinois in December 2001, just days before his federal trial was scheduled to begin. On January 2, 2002, a federal arrest warrant was issued against him for violating the conditions of his release.
The FBI said Adediran has ties to South Florida and remains on its wanted list. He is described as 5 feet 11 inches tall, weighing 200 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.
He is also known to use several aliases, including Kevin Olumide Adediran, Eric O. Williams, Maxo Alexandre, Olumide Adkins, and Edward N. Anderson.
The FBI urged anyone with useful information to contact its offices or report to the nearest American embassy or consulate.
