The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has placed a $10,000 bounty on Olumide Adebiyi Adediran, a Nigerian-linked fugitive wanted in the United States for multiple financial crimes.
Adediran faces charges of bank fraud, identity theft, and unauthorized credit card transactions.
He is also accused of violating his release conditions after fleeing ahead of his trial in December 2001.
According to investigators, in August 2001, he attempted to withdraw funds with a fake check at a bank in Champaign, Illinois.
He allegedly used stolen identities to open fraudulent bank and credit card accounts, defrauding unsuspecting victims.
Adediran absconded before his trial, prompting the U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois to issue a federal arrest warrant on January 2, 2002. He has remained at large for more than 20 years.
The FBI describes him as 5 feet 11 inches tall, about 200 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.
He is believed to have operated under several aliases, including Kevin Olumide Adediran, Eric O. Williams, Stephen Dediyi, Maxo Alexandre, and Olumide Adkins.
Authorities are urging anyone with information about his whereabouts to come forward, with a reward of up to $10,000 offered for tips leading to his arrest.
