The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has launched a manhunt for three individuals, including a foreign national, over alleged involvement in financial crimes ranging from obtaining money under false pretences to criminal breach of trust.
The anti-graft agency announced the development in two separate wanted notices issued on Tuesday by its Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale.
In one of the notices, the commission declared 48-year-old Emeka Iheanacho wanted for his alleged role in a case involving fraudulent acquisition of funds and unlawful conversion of money.
According to the EFCC, Iheanacho, an indigene of Abia State, is being sought in connection with allegations of obtaining money by false pretence and criminal conversion of funds.
The commission disclosed that his last known address is 17 Woodland Rise, Chilmington Green, Ashford, Kent, TN23 8AR, United Kingdom.
The agency appealed to members of the public with useful information that could lead to his arrest to contact any of its offices nationwide, the nearest police station, or other security agencies.
In a separate notice, the commission also declared Ogadima Duru, 39, and Khalidur Talukder wanted over alleged offences bordering on obtaining money by false pretence and criminal breach of trust.
The EFCC said both men are wanted in connection with an ongoing investigation into the alleged financial crimes.
