The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has placed $10,000 reward for anyone who can volunteer information leading to the arrest and conviction a fleeing Nigerian identified as Olumide Adebiyi Adediran.
The FBI announced the $10,000 reward offer on Wednesday night, September 24, concerning Adediran, who is wanted for Violation of Conditions of Release.
The suspect became a ‘fugitive’ when he fled the Central District of Illinois in late December 2001, shortly before his federal trial was scheduled to begin. He was facing multiple charges including Bank Fraud, Identification Document Fraud, and Credit Card Fraud.
The federal charges hung on Adediran included Bank Fraud, Identification Document Fraud, and Credit Card Fraud, highlighting his alleged involvement in financial crimes often linked to organized efforts to defraud institutions and individuals in the United States.
Violation of Conditions of Release is deemed a serious offense and it occurs when a defendant, having been released from custody pending trial on certain conditions (such as supervised release or bail), intentionally violates one or more of those conditions.
In this case, Adediran violated the conditions by fleeing to avoid prosecution.
This indicates the suspect is considered a high flight risk who evaded the judicial process.
