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
