My Letter (Through my Counsel, Dr. Wahab Shittu, SAN) to EFCC on April 22, 2025 on the Fraudulent Activities of Mr. Adeseye Joseph Famojuro: A Call for Public's Attention
Dear Sir,
I hope this message finds you well. I write with deep respect and full trust in your legal integrity, expertise, and compassionate track record. Your reputation for diligence and support in similar matters gives me the confidence to reach out to you during this distressing time.
With a heavy heart, I am requesting your urgent attention and legal intervention regarding a serious case of identity theft and fraud that has deeply impacted my life and well-being. I have fallen victim to calculated manipulation by a man named Adeseye Joseph Famojuro, whom I met years ago through his wife. At the time, I did not know his criminal intentions.
In good faith, I supported his wife and child during a difficult time when they were homeless in the United States, extending the kind of help one would offer to a family in a foreign country. Sadly, my kindness was betrayed.
Over time, Adeseye gained access to sensitive personal documents—my passport, National Identification Number (NIN), signature, and Social Security Number—under the guise of helping me secure an honorable opportunity to represent Oyo State at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, United States. He claimed that background checks were required and encouraged me to establish a non-governmental organization (NGO) and open a bank account in the U.S. Believing this to be a genuine opportunity and trusting him as a friend, I complied.
I have since come to realize that this was a calculated scheme designed to exploit my identity for fraudulent purposes. He has used my information to acquire contracts, launder money, and purchase properties. I have attached evidence, including a form used in the process, to support my claims.
In addition to identity misuse, Adeseye repeatedly asked for financial favors—school fees, furniture, vehicles, and more—with promises of reimbursement. At times, he did repay me, which made his deceit harder to detect.
More troubling is the network of individuals who are actively involved or aiding in his illicit activities. These include:
1. Ayodele Sunday Adekanmbi – Director General, Oyo State Agency for People with Disabilities. Despite his disability, he plays a significant role in executing fraudulent transactions. He is used to carrying out illegal activities, making it less likely for anyone to suspect wrongdoing.
2. Funmilayo Tosin Oyawale – She assists in financial transactions and property management and has his funds in her possession.
3. Bimbo Arike Dairo – CEO of Pokameil Properties and Pokameil Rental, involved in managing real estate and handling his funds.
4. Omotoke Adetola Ogunniyi – CEO of Lizabeth Move Ltd (Ebun Derma), channels funds via cryptocurrency and disguises illegal transactions.
5. Oluwaseun Olufade – Chairman of Ibadan North Local Government, involved in moving funds, and has access to his money. He facilitated the purchase of his properties in the UK.
6. Oriyomi Olounwa Ladigbolu – Former Zenith Bank Manager, previously dismissed for mismanaging funds linked to Adeseye, and also holds his funds.
7. Ayo Alatise, Ayobami Adebayo, and Olugbenga Joseph Damola Adebayo (alias Frayo) – His operatives, responsible for overseeing construction and carrying out illicit activities on the ground.
8. Bosede Folake Famojuro Phone: +19013149301 Adeseye's American Wife. If questioned, she has information about properties bought in her name and his son’s name in Lagos, Ibadan, Abuja, and South Africa. Bosede has confidently relocated herself and her son to the United States to ensure their protection. Launder money through with connection with Adekanmbi Ayodele. Bosede is claiming to be Adeseye’s ex-wife in order to seek permanent residency in the United States for herself and their son. She has undergone an unofficial divorce.
9.. Oluwanifemi Samuel Famojuro (His Son) Phone No: +17134480331. Adeseye has bought numerous properties in his name.
It has become increasingly evident that these individuals, along with his wife, Abosede Folake Famojuro, are actively involved in facilitating money laundering. This group has deceived me with fake documents, promised non-existent contracts, and encouraged me to provide sensitive information in exchange for land or other rewards. Many of them have relocated their families outside of Nigeria and now hold dual citizenship—presumably to shield themselves from prosecution.
In 2022, I facilitated the purchase of luxury items for Adeseye using funds transferred to me. These include vehicles worth over ₦1 billion. One such transaction involved a 2022 Mercedes G-Wagon 63 with a customized plate (JAF, Abuja), paid for through Planet Projects Ltd, tied to the Ibadan Motor Parks development projects. The vehicle’s chassis number is WIN4632761X417861, and the cost was approximately ₦750 million.
Adeseye has also acquired real estate, including two four-bedroom properties at Ridgewell Terrace, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos, registered under his son, Oluwanifemi Samuel Famojuro. I have strong reason to believe that other properties in Abuja, Lagos, Oyo State, the United Kingdom, and South Africa may also have been fraudulently tied to my identity or involve funds transferred through my name.
When I declined to knowingly participate in money laundering, Adeseye became hostile and began actions to tarnish my reputation in both Nigeria and the United States, despite my long-standing record of integrity. I have never been associated with any form of fraudulent activity until now, and I am determined to protect my name and future from this injustice.
I am therefore respectfully and urgently requesting your intervention. I am prepared to provide all necessary documentation, evidence, and communication records to support a formal investigation. I also kindly request that legal steps be taken to:
1. Clear my name from any unauthorized transactions or fraud-related activities.
2. Identify and prosecute those responsible for this fraud and identity theft.
3. Investigate and recover any properties or contracts falsely registered using my identity.

Thank you sincerely for your time, understanding, and commitment to justice. I am grateful for your support and hope this matter can be resolved swiftly to prevent any further harm to me or my family.
Warm regards,
