Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Wednesday
arrested Mr Aminu Lamido, son of the Jigawa state governor at the
Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport, for money laundering. An undisclosed sum of $40,000 was found on the Governor’s son as he prepared to board an Egypt bound flight.
Sources close to the Commission said that Mr. Lamido was flagged after he declared $10,000 in his possession to agents of the Nigerian customs at the airport.
Further checks by the agents revealed that he had an additional $40,000 which he did not declare.
