The Inspector-General of Police (IGP) monitoring unit in Abuja has launched a nationwide hunt for Dorcas Adeyinka, a blogger based in the United Kingdom, over alleged murder, abduction, cyber-stalking, extortion, injurious falsehood, and threats to life.

The police bulletin posted on X on Sunday declared Adeyinka wanted and described her as a married woman, having tribal marks, and hailing from Ekiti/Ibadan.

The suspect, according to the police, has a light complexion, white teeth, a large chin, black hair, a large head, and frequents Ikeja, Ogudu, Fagba, Otta, and Sango in Lagos and Ogun States, respectively.

The police also offered a substantial reward for any individual or group providing information that led to Adeyinkaโ€™s arrest.

It requested that the suspect, if seen, be arrested and handed over to the nearest police station or to the office of the IGP Monitoring Unit, in Abuja.

โ€œA handsome reward awaits any person(s) with information leading to her arrest,โ€ the police bulletin read.
