The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared Abdullahi Haske, son-in-law of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, wanted over alleged involvement in criminal conspiracy and money laundering.

The 38-year-old’s last known addresses were given as No. 6 Mosley Road, Ikoyi, Lagos and 952/953 Idejo Street, Victoria Island, Lagos.
EFCC urged members of the public with information about Haske’s whereabouts to report to the nearest police station or any of its offices across the country. The commission also provided a dedicated telephone line and email address for tips.
According to a reports, Haske had previously been questioned by the EFCC and one of his passports was seized. However, a source claimed he managed to leave the country with another passport. “The EFCC took one of his passport but he escaped with another passport,” the source was quoted as saying.
Haske is the founder and group managing director of AA & R Investment Group. He has also faced scrutiny over his company’s dealings with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
The development comes as Atiku, a former presidential candidate, continues to be a key figure in Nigeria’s opposition politics.
