Olumide Adediran: FBI Offers $10,000 Reward For Nigerian Wanted For Fraud by InfoGuru118(op): 9:20am On Sep 25, 2025

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has announced a reward of up to $10,000 (about N14m) for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Nigerian national, Olumide Adebiyi Adediran, who has been on the run for more than two decades, News360 Nigeria reports.

Adediran absconded from the Central District of Illinois in late December 2001, just before his federal trial was scheduled to begin.

He was facing multiple charges including Bank Fraud, Identification Document Fraud, and Credit Card Fraud.

On its official X (formerly Twitter) account, the Bureau posted, “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 of 2001, shortly before his trial was set to begin on federal charges of Bank Fraud, Identification Document Fraud, and Credit Card Fraud.”

According to details published on the Bureau’s official website, Adediran is wanted for Violation of Conditions of Release.

The FBI alleges that in August 2001, he entered a bank in Champaign, Illinois, and attempted to withdraw money using a deposited fraudulent check.

He also allegedly used stolen personal information belonging to U.S. citizens to open both bank and charge accounts.

When Adediran fled just days before his trial, he violated the terms of his release and effectively became a fugitive. On January 2, 2002, a federal arrest warrant was issued against him in the United States District Court, Central District of Illinois, Urbana, charging him with Violation of Conditions of Release.

Kindly ignore India's unverified and fake news and focus on the US, UK, UAE, and Saudi Arabia. These are the places where Nigeria's image is being battered and dragged through the mud.

I think they forgot about him until now or just systematically ignored his case until now. That's a whole lot of years to be looking for a fugitive. He has probably died of covid 19 or something else....however, that bounty is damn too small for criminal of such caliber and decades of evading justice and on the run......they need to increase it to make people very interested, especially Nigerians.....$1 to 2M can be for starting.......
