ABUJA, Nigeria — Nigeria’s anti-corruption watchdog, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has declared a foreign national and two other individuals wanted over allegations of financial crimes, including criminal breach of trust and obtaining money under false pretences.
The security alerts were published on Tuesday, 2 June 2026, in two separate public notices signed by Dele Oyewale, the EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity.
The suspects are accused of high-value financial fraud and the diversion of funds, with international ties linking their last known addresses to the United Kingdom.
UK-Linked Suspect Flagged for Fund Conversion
In its first enforcement notice, the commission declared 48-year-old Emeka Johnson Iheanacho wanted for alleged offences bordering on obtaining money by false pretence and the criminal conversion of funds.
According to the EFCC, Mr. Iheanacho is originally an indigene of Abia State in Nigeria’s southeast, but his last known residential address was tracked to Ashford in Kent, United Kingdom.
The agency released his photograph to the public and urged anyone with vital information regarding his current movements to contact the commission’s headquarters or its nearest zonal command.
Corporate Fraud and Breach of Trust
The second notice issued by the anti-graft agency flagged two individuals, including a foreign national, accused of operating fraudulent schemes and violating commercial trust.
The suspects were identified as:
- Ogadima Dominic Duru: A 39-year-old whose last known corporate address was listed at Lapal House on Igbosere Road, Lagos Island.
- Khalidur Rahman Mohammad Talukder: A foreign national whose last registered address was tracked to Mayfair in central London, United Kingdom.
Both men are wanted in connection with a joint case involving obtaining money under false pretences and criminal breach of trust.
The Call for Public Assistance
The EFCC has appealed to members of the public, both within Nigeria and internationally, to assist law enforcement agencies in locating the three men.
The commission stated that information can be phoned in directly to their dedicated hotline, submitted securely via email, or reported in person to any regional police station or sister security agency.
The latest declarations form part of an intensified campaign by Nigerian authorities to crack down on cross-border financial crimes and tighten corporate accountability within the country’s banking and commercial sectors.
