The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has declared Olumide Adebiyi Adediran wanted for Violation of Conditions of Release linked to multiple fraud charges.
“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.
According to the agency, Adediran
operates under several aliases, including Kevin Olumide Adediran, Kevin Deumiof Adediran, Eric O. Williams, Stephen Dediyi, Maxo Alexandre, Olumide Adkins, Ademola O. Adebiyi, Edward N. Anderson, James Gill, among others.
The FBI revealed that in August 2001, Adediran allegedly attempted to withdraw funds from a bank in Champaign, Illinois, using a fraudulent check. He is also accused of using stolen personal information of U.S. citizens to open bank and credit accounts.
Adediran reportedly fled the Central District of Illinois in December 2001, shortly before his trial on federal charges of Bank Fraud, Identification Document Fraud, and Credit Card Fraud was set to begin.
A federal arrest warrant was subsequently issued on January 2, 2002, by the United States District Court, Central District of Illinois, Urbana, after he was charged with violating his release conditions.
The FBI has urged anyone with information about Adediran’s whereabouts to contact the nearest FBI office, American Embassy, or Consulate.
