The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has declared Halimat Adenike Tejuosho, south-west zonal coordinator of the women wing of the City Boy Movement, wanted over an alleged case of obtaining money by false pretence.

In a notice issued on Monday, the commission said the 41-year-old is wanted in connection with an ongoing investigation into fraud-related offences.

According to the EFCC, Tejuosho is from Lagos State, with her last known address listed as House A26, Aso Grove Estate, Maitama Extension, Abuja.

“Anybody with useful information as to her whereabouts should please contact the Commission in its Ibadan, Uyo, Sokoto, Maiduguri, Benin, Makurdi, Kaduna, Ilorin, Enugu, Kano, Lagos, Gombe, Port Harcourt or Abuja offices or through 08093322644; its e-mail address: info@efcc.gov.ng or the nearest Police Station and other security agencies,” the notice read.

The commission said Tejuosho had previously been investigated over an alleged appointment and contract scam.

In June 2025, she was interrogated following complaints that she obtained money from victims under the guise of securing federal government jobs and contracts. She was later granted administrative bail while investigations continued.

The EFCC alleged that the businesswoman, said to be the founder of Haleems Integrated Services Limited, operated a scheme involving fake appointment letters and forged documents.

Following the development, the City Boy Movement announced her suspension as south-west zonal coordinator of its women wing.

“This action has been taken as a necessary administrative measure to protect the image, credibility, and ethical standards of the Movement,” the group said in a statement.

It added that the suspension would allow the investigation to proceed “without interference, obstruction, or undue influence”, reaffirming its zero-tolerance stance against misconduct.
