Leader RCMP Appeal for Public Help to Locate Mayowa Adekunle Babalola Charged in Fraud Case

Leader, Saskatchewan, 28 October 2026

Leader RCMP are appealing to the public for information on the whereabouts of a 36 year old man from Winnipeg following a fraud investigation that has lasted several months.

On 11 May 2026, officers received a report of eight fraudulent withdrawals from a victim’s business bank account. The investigation established that the funds had been transferred without authorisation to bank accounts that had been set up fraudulently using stolen or falsified identity information.

As a result of the inquiries, Mayowa Adekunle Babalola, aged 36 and from Winnipeg, Manitoba, has been charged with one count of fraud over $5,000 under Section 380(1) of the Criminal Code and one count of possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000 under Section 354(1)(a) of the Criminal Code (Information number 90565838). A warrant has been issued for his arrest.

Babalola is described as a Black male with brown eyes, short black hair, and a short beard and moustache. Police are working to obtain a photograph of him. He is known to frequent the Winnipeg area, although his current whereabouts remain unknown.

Anyone with information about his location or any relevant sightings is asked to contact 310-RCMP or their local police service immediately.
