Interpol Rejects EFCC’s Wanted Notice on Atiku’s Son-in-law
The International Criminal Police Organisation (Interpol) has turned down a request from Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to issue a “wanted” notice for Lagos businessman Bashir Haske, who is married to the daughter of opposition leader Atiku Abubakar.
In a statement on Friday, Interpol clarified that it does not get involved in cases that appear to be politically, religiously, racially, or militarily motivated. The agency stressed that it would not be used by any member country to pursue politically driven cases, acknowledging Mr. Abubakar’s role as Nigeria’s foremost opposition figure.
Despite a restraining court order, the EFCC had declared Mr. Haske wanted over allegations of money laundering. Reports indicate that his links to Atiku may have been used as leverage in ongoing political battles tied to the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC). Sources also suggest that Mr. Haske may have quietly left the country after being briefly detained in July.
For years, critics have accused the EFCC of targeting political rivals, arguing that the agency often relies on media drama and weak investigations rather than building solid cases. Although the EFCC has consistently denied being influenced by politics, its actions have repeatedly fueled suspicion.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
Ghanaian media personality Afia Schwarzenegger speaks on the xenophobia issues occurring around Africans in South Africa.
She stated that Ghana is not the same as Nigeria and shared that if such issues happen to Ghanaians in South Africa, they will speak up and not keep quiet. She added that they will react.
“Ghana is not like Nigeria and we won’t hesitate to return the stupid favour.”
