Jigawa Governor's son arrested for money laundering at Kano airport




One of the sons of the Jigawa State governor, Sule Lamido, was arrested around 12 midnight at the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport as he prepared to board an Egypt Air flight to Cairo.


Aminu Lamido was flagged after he declared $10,000 in his possession to agents of of the Nigerian customs at the airport. However further checks by agents of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) at the airport revealed that he was carrying a lot of money far higher than was disclosed.

Custom officials at the airport told SaharaReporters that Mr. Aminu travels frequently with huge wads of cash ostensibly to launder money on behalf of his father and some officials of the state.

EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren confirmed the arrest to SaharaReporters, saying that EFCC office in Kano will charge the governor's son to court as soon as practicable.

    Does your website have a contact page? I'm having a tough time locating it but, I'd like to
    send you an email. I've got some creative ideas for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great website and I look forward to seeing it develop over time.

    I'm really enjoying the design and layout of your blog. It's a very easy on the eyes
    which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here and visit

    When I initially commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox
    and now each time a comment is added I get several emails with the same
    comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service?
    Thank you!
