The United States has offered a $25,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of Olalekan Abimbola Olawusi, a Nigerian man facing trial for the alleged murder of his child. Olawusi, who was living in Rhode Island, has been added to the U.S. Marshals Service’s 15 Most Wanted list.

According to Supervisory Deputy U.S. Marshal Don Freeman, Olawusi is charged with first-degree murder and child abuse following the April 2017 discovery of his three-month-old son with 18 injuries across his body, including fractures and brain damage. The child died six months later, prompting a murder charge.

Olawusi was arrested in April 2017 but released the same day and fled the country in June 2017. Investigators have since linked him to family members in Nigeria, and authorities warn he remains a danger to the public.

Freeman emphasized, “Olawusi is wanted for the abuse and murder of an innocent child and has fled the country to avoid justice. We have placed Mr. Olawusi on our 15 Most Wanted list due to the heinous crimes he’s committed and the threat he continues to pose to the public.” The U.S. Marshals are actively pursuing him, with the reward offer for information on his whereabouts.
