The International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) has declared 14 Nigerians wanted for their alleged connection with various crimes including human trafficking and drug trafficking.

The INTERPOL explained it placed these individuals on a red list as they are wanted by different countries for alleged offences that also include robbery, cheating, and forgery.

The New Diplomat reports that listed on the wanted list is Felix Omoregie. He is wanted by Belgian authorities for allegedly exploiting minors for prostitution.

Also, Uche Egbue is wanted by Argentine authorities for alleged drug trafficking, and Jude Uzoma is sought by Brazil for alleged drug trafficking.

Others like Mary Eze and Bouhari Salif are wanted by Denmark and China, respectively, for alleged human trafficking and drug smuggling.

The notice issued by the INTERPOL stated: “Family name: Omoregie, Forename: Felix, Gender: Male, Date of birth: 22/10/1977 (47 years old), Nationality: Nigeria.

“Charges published as provided by requesting entity: Sexual exploitation or exploitation of prostitution of minors over 16 years of age; Sexual exploitation or exploitation of prostitution of another person/Leader of a criminal organisation/Human trafficking for prostitution or other forms of sexual exploitation.”

The notice on Edosomwan indicated that she is wanted by the French authority for “multiple victims trafficking in human beings, committed against several persons. Organised gang competition in an operation of placing concealing or converting the proceeds of an offence.”

Also, the notice revealed that Ikechukwu Obidiozor, Akachi Vitus and Alachi Stanley are wanted by the Angolan government for alleged “kidnapping, robbery and illegal possession of firearms.”

The notice also indicated that Mary Eze is wanted by Denmark for alleged “traffic in human beings”, Salif by China for alleged “drug smuggling”, and Nkem by Canada for alleged “sexual assault, and failure to comply with a condition of recognisance.”

The notice continued: “A Red Notice is a request to law enforcement worldwide to locate and provisionally arrest a person pending extradition, surrender, or similar legal action. A Red Notice is not an international arrest warrant.

“The individuals are wanted by the requesting member country or international tribunal. Member countries apply their laws in deciding whether to arrest a person.”
