Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared a 24-year-old wanted for alleged fraud.

Gatekeepers News reports that the EFCC has declared 24-year-old Adewale Jayeoba, identified as the Marketing Director of Wales Kingdom Capital Limited, wanted for allegedly defrauding people of N935 million.

The anti-graft agency disclosed this in a notice on Monday.

The EFCC said, “The public is hereby notified that Adewale Daniel Jayeoba of Wales Kingdom Capital is wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in the alleged case of an investment scam.

“Jayeoba is a 24-year-old native of Ori-Ade local government of Osun state.

“His last known address is 1004, Providence Centre, MKO Abiola Way, by NNPC mega station, Abeokuta, Ogun State.”

In June, the Commission said its operatives from its Lagos zonal office arrested Emmanuel and Victoria Jayeoba, identified as parents of the 24-year-old who is said to be at large, for allegedly defrauding unsuspecting victims to the tune of N935 million.

EFFC had said, “The suspects, in complicity with their son, who is still at large, operate a Ponzi scheme in the guise of forex trading to defraud their unsuspecting victims.

“Investigation revealed that Emmanuel, a Director in Wales Kingdom Capital, operated five bank accounts and had received a sum of N18,397,913.67 before his arrest.

“Further investigation also showed that the second suspect, Victoria, operates six bank accounts through which she received fraudulent transactions to the tune of N916,607,715.48.”

The EFCC urged anyone with any helpful information about the wanted man’s whereabouts to contact any of its offices across the nation.
