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

Adediran absconded from the Central District of Illinois in late December 2001, just days before his federal trial was set to begin. He faced multiple charges, including Bank Fraud, Identification Document Fraud, and Credit Card Fraud.

In a post on its official X (formerly Twitter) account, the FBI stated: “The FBI offers a reward of up to $10,000 for info leading to the arrest and conviction of Olumide Adebiyi Adediran, wanted for Violation of Conditions of Release. Adediran fled the Central District of Illinois at the end of December 2001, shortly before his trial was set to begin on federal charges of Bank Fraud, Identification Document Fraud, and Credit Card Fraud.”

According to the Bureau’s website, Adediran allegedly attempted to withdraw money in August 2001 from a bank in Champaign, Illinois, using a fraudulent check. He is also accused of using stolen personal information from U.S. citizens to open bank and charge accounts.

After fleeing, Adediran violated the terms of his release, becoming a federal fugitive. A federal arrest warrant was issued against him on January 2, 2002, by the United States District Court, Central District of Illinois, Urbana, on charges of Violation of Conditions of Release.
