The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared Auwalu Tijjani, a native of Kano State, wanted for his alleged involvement in a $1.9 million money laundering case.

The EFCC said Tijjani is currently at large and has refused to appear despite multiple invitations. His last known address is 519 Rimin Kebe, Kawaji, Kano State.
According to the Commission, the allegations stem from a series of transactions in which Tijjani reportedly misappropriated funds under false representation, violating several provisions of the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022.
The EFCC urged members of the public with information on his whereabouts to contact any of its offices across Nigeria or call the provided hotline.
As of the time of the announcement, no official statement has been released by Tijjani or his legal representatives.
