Operatives of the National Drug Law
Enforcement Agency have arrested a 25-year-old man, John Okafor, for
being in possession of N48m.
It was learnt that the suspect was
apprehended with the money on the......
Abaji-Abuja Expressway on Monday by
the anti-narcotic officials who were on a routine patrol.
He was said to be among the passengers of a commercial bus coming from Onitsha, Anambra State, when he was arrested.
According to source Okafor insisted that the money belonged
to an unnamed bureau de change firm in Onitsha, adding that he was an
employee of the firm.
He said he was heading for the foreign
exchange market in the Federal Capital Territory to convert the sum to
dollars when he was arrested.
He said, “I work for a bureau de change
in Onitsha. I was asked to purchase dollars at the foreign exchange
market in Abuja with the money. When we got to Abaji, our vehicle was
searched and the money was found. That is all I know.”
