The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has announced a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Olumide Adebiyi Adediran, a 56-year-old Nigerian man accused of multiple financial crimes in the United States.
Adediran is wanted on charges of bank fraud, identity document fraud, and credit card fraud, stemming from alleged crimes committed in Illinois in 2001. According to the FBI, he attempted to cash fraudulent checks and used stolen identities of U.S. citizens to open bank accounts.
He fled the Central District of Illinois in December 2001, shortly before his federal trial was scheduled to begin. A federal arrest warrant was subsequently issued on January 2, 2002, after he allegedly violated the conditions of his release.
The FBI revealed that Adediran has ties to South Florida and remains on its Most Wanted list.
He is described as 5’11” tall, weighing about 200 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He is also known to use several aliases, including Kevin Olumide Adediran, Eric O. Williams, Maxo Alexandre, Olumide Adkins, and Edward N. Anderson.
The Bureau urged anyone with credible information about his whereabouts to immediately contact the FBI, or the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.
