INTELLIGENCE reports at the beginning of the year that money launderers were picking on new destinations abroad and splitting monies to be laundered among several couriers; both designed to avoid suspicion and evade arrest, got the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) huge success in intercepting most of the bulk cash couriers at various airports in the country.
Chairman of the commission, Mr. Ibrahim Lamorde, last Monday, declared that over N15.5 billion primed to be laundered abroad had been intercepted by the commission this year.
Twenty-four hours after his disclosure, the most prominent so far of the cash courier suspects, Aminu, the eldest son of the Jigawa State governor, Sule Lamido, was arrested at the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport (MAKIA), Kano, with $50,000.
