INTERPOL extradites Nigerian fugitive from UAE over alleged $307,500 scam

  • The Nigeria Police Force extradited Abubakar Aboki Muhammed from the UAE on May 23, 2025, to face fraud charges in Nigeria.
  • Muhammed's extradition followed a July 2023 complaint by an Abuja businessman accusing him of defrauding $307,500 through false pretence and forgery.
  • Muhammed posed as a shipping agent, secured a contract to ship ten luxury vehicles from the UAE to Nigeria, and received full payment via a third-party FCMB account.
  • He provided a forged bill of lading, became uncontactable, and laundered the funds in Dubai before being arrested there on April 15, 2025.
  • Police praised Dubai Police, INTERPOL Abu Dhabi, and Nigeria’s consulate for aiding the extradition, calling it a key success against transnational financial crime.
