Police Extradite High Profile Fraud Suspet From UAE To Nigeria
The Nigeria Police Force has secured the extradition of a high-profile fraud suspect, Abubakar Muhammed, from the United Arab Emirates.
Muhammed, who had been on the run since 2023, was extradited to Nigeria on Friday, May 23, following his arrest in Dubai on April 15.
According to a statement by the police spokesman, Muyiwa Adejobi, on Saturday, Muhammed’s return was facilitated through a coordinated effort between INTERPOL NCB Abuja, INTERPOL Abu Dhabi, the Dubai Police, and the Nigerian Consulate General in Dubai.
Adejobi said the suspect was the subject of an INTERPOL Red Notice after he allegedly defrauded an Abuja-based international businessman of $307,500 under the pretence of shipping luxury vehicles from the UAE to Nigeria.
