Interpol Extradite Nigerian Fugitive from UAE Over Multi-Million Dollar Fraud

The International Criminal Police Organisation (Interpol) has extradited Abubakar Aboki Muhammed from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to Nigeria. He faces charges of fraud involving an Abuja-based businessman.

Muhammed, a Nigerian national, was arrested in Dubai after an investigation into a fraudulent shipping contract. The case was reported to the police in July 2023.

According to Muyiwa Adejobi, the Force Public Relations Officer, Muhammed posed as a shipping agent and secured a contract to transport ten high-end vehicles valued at $307,500 from the UAE to Nigeria.

“After establishing trust, Muhammed fraudulently received the full payment through a third-party account at FCMB belonging to Anas Usaini, a Kano resident, which was subsequently used for money laundering activities in Dubai,” Adejobi stated.

Forged Documents and Disappearance

After receiving the funds, Muhammed provided the complainant with a forged bill of lading for the vehicles. He then became unreachable, leaving the businessman without his shipment or money.

Authorities tracked him down in Dubai, where he was arrested on April 15, 2025. His extradition to Nigeria marks a major success in the fight against transnational financial crime.

Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun praised the Dubai Police, INTERPOL NCB Abu Dhabi, and the Nigerian Consulate General in Dubai for their role in securing Muhammed’s extradition.
