Meet Olumide Oniwinde, the owner of Aboki FX

Olumide Oniwinde is the owner and the founder of AbokiFx, a website that displays the parallel market exchange rate of Naira against other currencies, especially the US Dollar.

He was born in September 1975, an astute Forex dealer, financial expert who came to the limelight after the Central Bank of Nigeria declared him wanted over his manipulation of the Nigerian economy.

According to Emefiele: “Mr Oniwinde started the AbokiFX operation in 2015 and has since milked the economy by manipulating the exchange rate.”

“Oniwinde lives in London while contorting criminal activities on our economy. Our preliminary findings show that the company continues to file the same cash account in the United Kingdom whereas he maintained about 25 accounts with 8 banks in Nigeria, milking the system and collecting cash through Automatic Teller machines in London.”

Why CBN declared Olumide Oniwinde wanted

Obviously, the CBN has come under pressure in recent weeks after the value of naira plummeted following the bank’s decision to stop the sales of dollars to Bureau De Change operators a month ago.

The value of the currency fell to 570 on Friday from less than 520 a dollar it traded before the ban. Most local newspapers rely on Abokifx for the parallel market rates.

Mr Emefiele alleged that Mr Adedotun uses his website for forex manipulations and speculations by purchasing forex to make a profit.

“He is a Nigerian, living in England, we will track him, Mr Oniwinde, we will track you. We cannot allow you to continue to kill our economy.”

“It is completely illegal and unacceptable,” he said. “Mr Oniwinde is an illegal fx dealer that has inflow and sold tens of millions of fx to several Nigerian companies in contravention of the fx law, he directly benefits from the rates he quotes daily on his website.”
