The Nigeria Police Force, through the INTERPOL NCB Abuja, said it has successfully extradited a Nigerian fugitive, Abubakar Aboki Muhammed.

Muhammed was extradited from the United Arab Emirates on Friday,  May 23, 2025.
Olumuyiwa Adejobi, Force Public Relations Officer who confirmed the incident, said the male suspect, was subject to an INTERPOL Red Notice issued by NCB Abuja following an extensive investigation into a case of Obtaining Money by False Pretence, Forgery, and Money Laundering.
Adejobi, an Assistant Commissioner of Police said the case originated from a report filed in July 2023 by an Abuja-based international businessman, who was defrauded by Muhammed under the guise of been a shipping agent.
He said investigations revealed that Muhammed misrepresented himself to the complainant, securing a contract to facilitate payments and freight of ten high-end vehicles, valued at $307,500.00, from the UAE to Nigeria via designated registered shipping companies.
“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.
“Upon receipt of the payment, Muhammed provided the complainant with a forged bill of lading for the vehicles and subsequently became uncontactable. He was apprehended in Dubai on April 15, 2025, and has been extradited to Nigeria to face prosecution at the Federal High Court, marking a significant success in the ongoing fight against transnational financial crime,” Adejobi asserted.
“The Nigeria Police Force, under the steadfast leadership of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun,  recognises the invaluable assistance of the Dubai Police, INTERPOL NCB Abu Dhabi, and the Nigerian Consulate General in Dubai in facilitating the extradition of Abubakar Aboki Muhammed, and extends its sincere gratitude. The NPF will continue to collaborate with international law enforcement agencies to pursue and bring to justice individuals who seek to exploit and defraud citizens through cross-border criminal activities,” the Force image maker enthused.
