@coulture, u are wrong.
That money belong to some lagos island traders. If the EFCC/FG should seize the money, the courier will have nothing to lose. The BDC operators will not lose kobo but the traders will lose it all.
So thank God they accepted their own cut and let-go. Read the post again. The guy didn't tell them the truth about the actual amount.
"According to Yusuf, at the Customs check
point of the airport, the accused had alleged
that he had only $4.5 Million in his suit case.
He said that after a thorough search, the
officers discovered that what the accused
actually had in his possession was $7.5
Million contrary to his initial claim.
The lawyer further told the court that on the
whole, a total sum of $8.3 Million had been"

So d guy reduced d amount so to reduce the usual bribe and it backfired.
(That amount and more has been/is still passing that rout)

tony_m1: That's why corruption is very high in the country, a man caught with $7 million and has no explanation of where he got it from and a corrupt government who wants 25% of doing nothing grin
Didnt you read d article? The traders who own d money went to the EFCC to claim d money but they had to forfeit 25% of d part of d money that the guy did not declare to the authorities; this forfeiture is apparently according to d new Anti-Laudering law..

feelamong: This is a country of jokers and clowns!

So all the Judge did was just to appropiate N100M to himself (thru the faceless Govt acronym). Why did he not ask the man what he does for living to be have that large amount of cash? what amount of taxes has he paid since he stared doing the so called FX business?

Who are the people that gave him the cash? what do they do and how much tax do they pay?

Tufia!! angry
Read the article you are criticizing b4 opening yr mouth wide and Shouting....quite d noise making plz

safarigirl: Nigerian government, chai! This is coded theft. By 25% going to the FG, what they mean is, 3% to EFCC for catching the mugu, 2% to the judge for coming to that judgement, 8% to state governors and the remaining 17% to ministers and co.
Just SHUT ya mouth there
Re: Man Caught With $7million To Forfeit 25 % To FG by taharqa: 3:16pm On Oct 24, 2012
Cultured: The truth of the matter is that the guy was to courier the fund for highly placed person(s)in the country, and it was this same people involved that bribed the judge to make this ridiculous judgment . Or how best could one explain the fact that they guy in question was fined to forfeit 25% of the fund instead of finding out the true source of the fund , I mean, the given excuse of the fund as been a contribution from his business associates to buy goods for them in Dubai is too lame . And even if it was to be a contribution from his associates , he still violated the law of anti money laundering and ought to have been punished accordingly .
And hv u read the Anti-Money Laudering law lately?

Traders are politicians made up mallams they must have been paid to claim the ownership of the stolen cash.Without detail investigation by nigerian rogue law enforcement of how they made the money,why they collectively gave it the courier and for what purpose?

Do we still hear of otedola-farouk case?How about halliburton?

Good. Believe what ever you want to believe. By d way, whether the 'story' is true or not was not the point of my comment, but this idea that once a Nigerian gets involves with money then there must be corruptn involvd is stu.pid and frankly annoying. Am Nigerian, am NOT CORRUPT and i can say same for most of my close pals. My experienc is that most of d peeps always trying to prove that virtuali every Nigerian is corrupt are themselves corrupt. These ppl hv blockd their results or paid for job placements etc....it is possible that dis guy 'stole' d money or was a courier for other corrupt ppl but it is equally possible that he was just a 'smart' Nigerian who didnt want to declare all d money on him so he wont pay sm charges; and hope you know that most nigerian traders carry huge cash around when going to the market including international markets

na politician get that money PERIOD and that is exactly how they carry our funds to different parts of the world. with the rate of robbery in the country, u can country how many rich men in the world that can risk such amount of money apart from our politicians who escort the funds to the airport. i don't know what money laundry is or what the law says about offenders but am sure is not forfeiting 25% to FG.

Money don change hand hence the judgement by those who knew that only settlement is the title of conviction in Nigeria.
A man travelling with physical cash amount to over $7,million dollars and the judge will sit down and tell us here that it was contribution made by traders?
Too bad.

The man claimed he was with much less, but when a thorough search was conducted on him, they (the authorities) found out that he lied to them.

Funny story though.
