Haske, declared wanted by EFCC
By agency report
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared Mr Bashir Haske, a son-in-law to former Vice President Abubakar Atiku wanted over alleged money laundering.
The EFCC has also frozen 15 million dollars found in Haske’s bank account amid the allegations, which also include criminal conspiracy.
The 37-year-old businessman and CEO of AA & R Investment Group, reportedly left the country after allegedly breaching bail conditions.
Haske is also linked to Bayo Ojulari, the current CEO of Nigeria’s state oil company NNPC.
He is married to a daughter of Nigeria’s leading opposition leader and presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2023 general elections.
The EFCC has also called on the public to come forward with information that could assist in his arrest.
Interpol has however said it will not act on the alert, citing rules against involvement in politically sensitive cases.
AA & R Investment Group holds key stakes in Nigeria’s energy and aviation sectors, making this investigation closely watched across both political and business circles.
