The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared Halimat Adenike Tejuosho, a women leader of the City Boys Movement, wanted over allegations linked to financial crimes.
The anti-graft agency announced the development as part of its ongoing efforts to track and apprehend individuals suspected of involvement in economic and financial offences. However, specific details regarding the nature of the allegations against Tejuosho were not immediately disclosed.
Tejuosho is known within political circles as a women leader of the City Boys Movement, a group associated with youth mobilization and political support activities. Her declaration as wanted by the EFCC marks a significant development, drawing attention to the agency’s widening investigations.
The EFCC typically issues wanted notices when a suspect is believed to be at large or has failed to honor invitations for questioning. Such declarations are often accompanied by a call on members of the public to provide useful information that could lead to the arrest of the individual.
While the commission has not released full details of the case, it reiterated its commitment to combating corruption and financial misconduct across all sectors. The agency has continued to intensify its operations, targeting individuals suspected of fraud, money laundering, and other related offences.
As of the time of reporting, there has been no official response from Tejuosho regarding the EFCC’s declaration. It also remains unclear whether any legal representatives have been engaged to address the allegations.
The EFCC urged anyone with relevant information about her whereabouts to contact its offices or security agencies, assuring that all information would be treated with confidentiality.
The case adds to a growing list of high-profile investigations being handled by the anti-corruption agency, as authorities maintain pressure on individuals suspected of violating financial regulations.
