The agency also released photographs and details of the suspects, calling on members of the public to assist law enforcement authorities with credible information that could lead to their arrest.
According to information published by the ICPC, the wanted persons are linked to a range of allegations, including fraud, forgery, impersonation, land racketeering, abuse of office, gratification-related offences, and other corruption-related crimes currently under investigation or prosecution.
Among those listed are former public officials, private individuals, and suspected collaborators who have allegedly evaded arrest or failed to appear before investigative and judicial authorities. The anti-graft agency urged citizens to report any information concerning the whereabouts of the suspects to the nearest ICPC office, police station, or relevant security agency.
The publication of the list comes amid renewed efforts by federal authorities to strengthen accountability and improve the enforcement of anti-corruption laws. Analysts say the move signals a tougher stance against individuals accused of undermining public trust and misappropriating resources meant for national development.
The ICPC emphasized that declaring individuals wanted does not amount to a conviction, as all suspects remain entitled to due process and are presumed innocent until proven guilty by a competent court of law. However, the agency maintained that public cooperation remains critical in ensuring that those facing allegations answer to the law.
With corruption continuing to rank among Nigeria's most persistent governance challenges, the latest wanted list has reignited conversations about accountability, transparency, and the effectiveness of the country's anti-graft institutions.
