The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has declared Nigerian-born Olumide Adebiyi Adediran wanted and offered a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to his arrest and conviction.

According to the FBI, Adediran is wanted for allegedly violating the conditions of his release in connection with federal fraud charges dating back to 2001. The agency said he has ties to South Florida.

The FBI alleged that Adediran attempted to withdraw funds from a fraudulent cheque at a bank in Champaign, Illinois, in August 2001, and also allegedly used stolen personal information to open bank and credit accounts.

He allegedly fled the Central District of Illinois in December 2001, shortly before his trial on charges including bank fraud, identification document fraud and credit card fraud.

A federal arrest warrant was issued for him on January 2, 2002. The FBI’s Springfield Field Office is handling the case and has urged anyone with information about his whereabouts to contact the agency or the nearest American embassy or consulate.

Amnesty International says foreigners, including Africans, are being lured to Russia with promises of jobs and opportunities, only to end up recruited to fight in Ukraine. The rights group says some cases amount to human trafficking, with recruits reporting confiscated passports, contracts they cannot understand and little military training before being sent towards the battlefield. Amnesty documents cases involving nationals from Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Africa and Egypt, among others. Russia hasn't made immediate public comment on Amnesty's allegations. Ukraine estimated in April that more than 28,000 foreigners from 136 countries were fighting in the Russian army.

Her death comes as concern grows over a series of women’s bodies discovered in the Kempton Park and Rhodesfield area. SAPS has established a multidisciplinary task team, including specialised murder investigators and investigative psychologists, to determine whether the cases are connected. Police have cautioned that they have not yet confirmed a link between the deaths.

RESCUED SA GIRLS RETURN HOME AFTER HARROWING MALAWI TRAFFICKING ORDEAL

JOHANNESBURG — Two South African girls, aged nine and 15, have finally returned home after allegedly being trafficked to Malawi and enduring almost two years of hardship away from their family.

The children were welcomed back to South Africa at OR Tambo International Airport on Thursday, 3 September 2026, following a cross-border rescue operation involving South African and Malawian authorities, Interpol South Africa and the Department of Social Development.

According to authorities, the family travelled to Malawi in October 2024 after allegedly being promised a better life by a Malawian man who had gained the trust of the children's mother.

The family had reportedly experienced financial difficulties and allegedly lost their home. Authorities said the man was accused of gaining control over the grandmother's pension before convincing the family to move to Malawi.

But after arriving in Malawi, the family's situation allegedly deteriorated. Their passports were reportedly taken, they were confined to a house and allegedly deprived of adequate food and freedom of movement.

The children's mother and grandmother eventually managed to return to South Africa and reported the matter to police after arriving in East London on 2 March 2026.

The two girls, however, remained behind in Malawi.

Malawian authorities rescued the children on 9 July 2026 and placed them in a place of safety while South African officials worked to secure their return.

Officials from Interpol South Africa and the Department of Social Development travelled to Malawi on 30 August to facilitate the repatriation.

Social Development Minister Dina P**e described the children's return as an important step towards family reunification and recovery.

The girls are now expected to receive psychosocial support and other services as they begin rebuilding their lives after the traumatic ordeal.

Authorities have warned that human traffickers often exploit financial hardship, vulnerability and trust by making promises of employment, relationships, financial assistance or a better life.

The case remains under investigation, with South African authorities working to identify and hold those responsible accountable. No arrests had been reported at the time of the latest reports.

The Department of Social Development has urged the public and media to protect the identities and privacy of the children as they recover from their ordeal.
