What I'm looking for

I seek roles leveraging investigative rigour in AML/OSINT/intelligence within multinational organisations, emphasizing rights-respecting operations, cross-agency coordination, and opportunities to mentor and lead.

I am a seasoned law-enforcement and transnational-crime investigator with operational leadership as Assistant Superintendent of Narcotics at the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), where I led intelligence-driven operations across West Africa and produced court-admissible investigative reports securing convictions.

I combine hands-on KYC/AML/CTF experience from trade finance with advanced OSINT investigation skills, Maltego expertise, and multiple certifications in combating terrorism financing, humanitarian protection, and crisis management; I have coordinated multi-agency investigations and managed confidential informants in high-threat environments.

I am committed to rigorous, rights-respecting investigations, mentoring junior officers, and deploying analytical and operational capabilities to multinational organisations seeking to strengthen financial crime compliance, transnational investigations, and protection-focused programming.
