U.S. authorities announced a $25,000 prize for information on the Nigerian man wanted in the newborn abduction case.
The United States authorities have issued a wanted notice for Olalekan Abimbola Olawusi, a 48-year-old Nigerian man, promising a $25,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.
The suspect, who is believed to have fled to Nigeria, is charged with first-degree murder and two counts of grievous bodily injury to a child.
The accusations come from an April 3, 2017, incident in Providence, Rhode Island, in which emergency responders discovered Olawusi’s 3-month-old kid in critical condition with bleeding from his mouth and nose.
The infant was hospitalised in cardiac arrest with several injuries indicating long-term abse, including skull and rib fractures.
Despite being placed on life support, the kid died six months later.
In April 2017, Olawusi was arrested and charged with first-degree child sexual abuse.
He was released the following day and then disappeared. The m+rder charge was added after the infant died on October 31, 2017.
The U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) inquiry revealed that Olawusi flew out of New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport on June 20, 2017, using his Nigerian passport.
Investigators fear Olawusi may be receiving aid from family members in Nigeria and potentially endanger other youngsters.
Don Freeman, Supervisory Deputy U.S. Marshal, issued a statement urging anyone with information regarding Olawusi’s whereabouts to come forward.
