The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has begun a special operation aimed at tackling crime across Abuja and its surrounding areas.

According to a statement from the Command, the operation will run from November 2025 through January 2026.

It will involve officers from the State Criminal Investigation Department, Police Mobile Force, Counter Terrorism Unit, the Department of Operations, and all divisional police formations in the FCT.

The Commissioner warned officers involved to carry out their duties with professionalism and respect for human rights, stressing that no act of misconduct will be tolerated.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has announced a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of Nigerian national Olumide Adebiyi Adediran, who is wanted on charges of bank fraud, identity theft, and credit card fraud.

Adediran, 56, is accused of cashing fraudulent cheques and using stolen identities to open bank accounts in Illinois in 2001. Authorities say he fled the Central District of Illinois in December 2001, just before his federal trial was set to begin. A federal arrest warrant was issued on January 2, 2002, after he allegedly violated his release conditions.

“The FBI is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Olumide Adebiyi Adediran,” the agency said in a statement.

The FBI disclosed that Adediran has ties to South Florida and remains on its wanted list. He is described as 5’11” tall, weighing 200 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.

Adediran reportedly uses several aliases, including Kevin Olumide Adediran, Eric O. Williams, Maxo Alexandre, Olumide Adkins, and Edward N. Anderson.

The agency urged anyone with information about his whereabouts to contact the FBI or the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.
