The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC), has explained how businessman Abdullahi Bashir Haske, the founder of AA & R Investment Group and son-in-law to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar escaped Nigeria.
Recall that the anti-graft agency declared Haske wanted over alleged criminal conspiracy and money laundering.
However, according to reports, Haske was earlier questioned and detained by authorities, with his passport seized to prevent him from fleeing. But he managed to escape using another passport.
“The EFCC took one of his passport but he escaped with another passport”, a top source privy to the investigation disclosed yesterday.
In a notice issued on Thursday, signed by its Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, the anti-graft agency called on members of the public with useful information on Haske’s whereabouts to report to the nearest police station or any EFCC office nationwide.
It stated: “The public is hereby notified that Abdullahi Bashir Haske, whose photograph appears above is wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in an alleged case of Criminal Conspiracy and Money Laundering.
“Abdullahi is 38 years old, and his last known address is: No. 6 Mosley Road Ikoyi, Lagos State; 952/953 Idejo Street Victoria Island, Lagos State.
“Anybody with useful information as to his whereabouts should please contact the Commission in its Ibadan, Uyo, Sokoto, Maiduguri, Benin, Makurdi, Kaduna, Ilorin, Enugu, Kano, Lagos, Gombe, Port Harcourt or Abuja offices or through 08093322644; its e-mail address: info@efcc.gov.ng or the nearest Police Station and other security agencies”.
