FBI offers $5,000 reward for wanted Nigerian woman

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has placed a $5,000 reward on the head of Nigerian woman Emuobosan Emanuella Hall, who has evaded arrest by skipping out on a prison sentence. Hall, 46, was sentenced to 96 months in a federal prison in January 2026 for her involvement in a romance scam and money laundering. After pleading guilty, she failed to show up for her sentence in Louisiana, leading to the issuance of a federal arrest warrant in March 2026.

The FBI has listed her aliases as Emuobosan E. Hall, Emuobosan Emanuella Erih, and "Mobo," and noted her connections to Nigeria, England, and the United States. Hall's last known location was Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on March 24, 2026. If convicted of the failure-to-report charge, she could face up to 10 additional years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
