The International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) has issued Red Notices for 14 Nigerians wanted for a range of serious crimes, including human trafficking, drug trafficking, robbery, sexual assault, and forgery.

INTERPOL emphasized that a red notice serves as a global alert to locate and provisionally arrest an individual pending extradition or legal action, though it is not an international arrest warrant. Public assistance is sought to locate these individuals, and any information can be reported to local authorities.
