Editor’s Note: This report was originally published in February 2021 following an official wanted-person notice issued by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) concerning Simon Oshi. The EFCC notice identified Oshi by name and photograph and stated that he was wanted in connection with allegations of obtaining money under false pretence and issuance of a dud cheque.
In December 2021, reports indicated that Oshi was arraigned by the EFCC over an alleged ₦38 million dud cheque issued in the name of his company, The Prolifick Entertainment Concept. A subsequent judgment of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, delivered on December 9, 2025, concerned Prolifick Entertainment Concept as the defendant in a ₦38 million dishonoured-cheque matter. The judgment does not name Simon Oshi as the defendant or make a finding concerning the accuracy or otherwise of the EFCC’s 2021 wanted-person declaration.
NewsOnline has added this note to reflect the subsequent judicial record and provide readers with the relevant historical context.
