Lawyer and civil rights activist Edward Ejembi Omaga has been declared wanted by the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) following allegations of defamation against Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB) and its CEO, Segun Agbaje.

Omaga had previously published claims regarding infractions at GTB, calling for an investigation into Agbaje's activities. In response, the police issued an invitation for him to appear for questioning. According to a letter dated October 10, 2024, the police stated they were investigating allegations of criminal defamation, cyberbullying, economic sabotage, and conduct likely to cause a breach of peace.

Despite this, Omaga failed to respond to the invitation. In a follow-up letter dated October 25, 2024, the police emphasized that his lack of cooperation was hindering the investigation. They reminded him to attend an interview with the Commissioner of Police on October 29, 2024, at the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) in Abuja.

On Monday, the Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, issued a public statement on the NPF’s official Facebook page, urging anyone with information about Omaga’s whereabouts to immediately contact the nearest police station.
