The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared three businessmen, Ogadima Duru, Khalidur Talukder, a foreign national, and Emeka Iheanacho, wanted for alleged offences bordering on fraud.

Duru, 39, and Talukder are wanted for alleged offences of obtaining money by false pretence and criminal breach of trust, which the anti-graft agency described as economic and financial crimes.

Their identities, photographs, and last known addresses were released on Tuesday by the EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, who urged members of the public with credible information on their whereabouts to report to any of its offices nationwide.

“The public is hereby notified that the persons whose photographs appear below are wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for alleged case of obtaining money by false pretence and criminal breach of trust,” the statement read.

Duru was listed with a last known address at Suite 2A, Lapal House, 235 Igbosere Road, Lagos Island, Lagos State, while Talukder was said to reside at Devonshire House, 1 Mayfair Place, London W1J 8AJ, United Kingdom.

In a separate notice, the commission declared 48-year-old Emeka Iheanacho wanted for alleged offences of obtaining money by false pretence and criminal conversion of funds.

It added that Iheanacho is an indigene of Abia State, with a last known address at 17 Woodland Rise, Chilmington Green, Ashford, Kent, TN23 8AR, United Kingdom.

“We call on all Nigerians to assist us in locating the suspects. Fighting economic and financial crimes is essential to safeguarding the nation’s resources and ensuring accountability.”
