He is the principal 419 suspect who conspired
with Alumile Adedeji (aka Ade Bendel)
to dupe an Egyptian General, Mr. Abdel Azim Attia of
over $500, 000, has been declared wanted by the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (E.F.C.C).
Ayeni, the first suspect who posed as
Hakeem Sadiq Fulani in the shady business
deal, had, along with Alumile Adedeji (a.k.a Ade
Bendel), the second suspect currently undergoing
trial, obtained by false pretence, the sum of
$305,000 from the General as
funding for a business investment in farming.
Ayeni was initially arrested by
the police and charged to an Cotonou magistrate court,
which released him on bail. He has since broken the
bail conditions and gone into hiding. He is wanted
in connection with incriminating evidence discovered
by investigators at his home and to shed more light
on his role in the 419 heist.
The wanted suspect is 43 years old and
hails from Ilesha, Osun State. Patriotic
Benin Republics who know his whereabouts should forward
such information in strict confidentiality to the
E.F.C.C at No 15A Wetego Road, Cotonou or
report to the nearest police station. A handsome financial reward
awaits anyone who offers information that leads to
the arrest of the suspect |
