In a statement issued on Thursday, EFCC spokesman Dele Oyewale announced that the Commission is seeking public assistance to track down Haske. “The public is hereby notified that Abdullahi Bashir Haske, whose photograph appears above, is wanted by the EFCC in an alleged case of criminal conspiracy and money laundering” the statement read.

According to the anti-graft agency, the 38-year-old fugitive was last known to reside at No. 6 Mosley Road, Ikoyi, and 952/953 Idejo Street, Victoria Island, Lagos State.
