Nigerian man who fled US in 2019 arrested at US airport

A 34-year-old Nigerian man, Adetunji Abudu, has been arrested at a US airport after fleeing the country in 2019. Abudu, who is accused of involvement in a fraud and money-laundering scheme targeting elderly Americans, was apprehended at Logan International Airport in Boston while attempting to enter the country from Istanbul, Turkey.

The United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Rhode Island revealed that Abudu was one of six defendants charged in a superseding indictment, alleging that millions of dollars obtained through fraud schemes were laundered through bank accounts and businesses in the US.
