The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has declared Abdullahi Bashir Haske; son-in-law of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, wanted.
Haske was declared wanted over allegations of criminal conspiracy and money laundering.
In a public notice issued on Thursday, August 21, 2025, EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale called on Nigerians to assist in tracking down Haske, who has reportedly gone underground.
The statement read; “The public is hereby notified that Abdullahi Bashir Haske, whose photograph appears above, is wanted by the EFCC in an alleged case of criminal conspiracy and money laundering.”
Haske, 38, is said to have last resided at two upscale addresses in Lagos: No. 6 Mosley Road, Ikoyi, and 952/953 Idejo Street, Victoria Island. However, investigators say he’s no longer traceable at either location, raising speculation that he may have fled the country or gone into hiding.
The EFCC has appealed to the public to provide any useful information about Haske’s whereabouts through its nationwide offices or official tip lines. Offices in Abuja, Lagos, Kano, Port Harcourt, and other major cities have been placed on high alert.
While EFCC officials have remained tight-lipped about the details of the allegations, the development is already stirring political tension.
Bashir Haske’s ties to Atiku Abubakar, a key opposition figure and former presidential candidate, are likely to fuel fresh debates around politically exposed persons and anti-corruption battles in Nigeria.
Sources familiar with the investigation suggest that Haske’s case could be part of a broader probe involving high-level financial networks linked to past administrations. However, no official confirmation has been made.
Interestingly, this is coming barely a week after the Adamawa-born entrepreneur, industrialist, and investor iwas warned by Nigerian Prophet, Primate Elijah Ayodele about being tackled by several security operatives. The prophet in his word stated that Haske has a bright future and the capacity to help Nigerian in several ways but he may not be allowed.
The prophet further stated that he needs to seek the face of God for his life.
“Abdullahi Bashir Haske must pray for his life, I see him being implicated even though he has a serious prospect. He will be getting fought by the international community.
“I also see operatives like DSS, Interpol, DMI, FBI, EFCC fighting him and trying to bring him down at all costs.
“He needs to seek the face of God so that they won’t make him lose multi-billion dollar projects.”
Continuing, Primate Ayodele revealed that in the next two years, they will continue to fight the businessman, while urging him to be careful against plane crash.
“He has the capacity to turn the oil sector of Nigeria around with one of the largest refineries, which can even crash the price of petrol to N400/Litre.
“He has the prospect to become a governor in his state, but people with vulture eyes have seen his future and want to destroy his political prospect.”
“They will fight him in the next two years and see him as a threat; he needs God’s prayers for him to survive.
“They want to take his life through a plane crash or any other way; he needs serious prayers for his life.
“He has a lot to offer Nigeria even internationally, but he needs prayers for his life.”
