The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has announced a reward of up to $10,000 (about ₦14 million) for information leading to the capture of Nigerian national, Olumide Adebiyi Adediran, who has been a fugitive for over two decades.

Adediran was accused of bank fraud, identity theft, and using stolen personal information to open accounts in the United States. He reportedly attempted to cash a fraudulent check in Illinois in 2001 but fled in December that year, just days before his federal trial was set to begin.

A warrant was issued for his arrest in January 2002, and investigators say he has since used several aliases to conceal his identity. He is also believed to have connections to South Florida, where he may have relocated after fleeing Illinois.

The FBI describes Adediran as 5’11” tall, weighing about 200 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Authorities are urging anyone with credible information to come forward and help bring him to justice.
