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.

Too bad my brother,,,,,,The most senseless judgment we 've heard of in years. what a manipulation? How could a judge be this corrupt? why do these people always fool the masses and get away with it?

Do you know what is 7 million U.S D? ,,,,, Traders that have such amount of money are no doubt, organised traders, and they wont gamble with it like this.

Politicians at work as usual, probably they were afraid of d UAE's funds monitoring authorities hence they never dare wire transfer....What a country...what a national disgrace... what a worthless judicial system!

Am interested in this, we must protest

berem: did you quote the whole topic just to make that 6 words comment of yours? Why! Why! Don't you people realise that some of us read with phones? What da fucck is wrong with all these nairalanders who waste their fuccking time quoting a whole gaddamn topic?

BEREM!!!!..allocutus!

Very funny judgement if you ask me. So if the money were proceeds from an illegal operation, the FG will collect their 25 percent still? Or cease the whole loot? Besides, they never stated why the man lied in the first place, perhaps the remaining 3 million bucks was to be laundered.

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

and this is why nigeria may keep gettin set-backed. Since people like u will eventually hold posts in high authority and talk clueless!
Didn't u read from d post where he claimed the money came from. Even with tendered documents. Nonsense

cheleku: One thing I don't understand is why someone would want to travel with that much cash. What has happened to the electronic banking transfer system? I suppose the dude was trying to avoid paying tariffs to banks. Unfortunately, he'd have to pay a sum much larger than he was trying to avoid. Again, I think its so much risk carrying such amount of money around. Walahi if I gotten information about his itinerary before he was 'gwabbed', I would have ambushed him in the bid to forcefully collect the money.

OPEN CONFESSION.C THIEF OOOOO

This is an arranged scam one observered those supposed contrbutors where not called to give evidence to corroborate their contribution to the funds. Some fast one on the public who will always accept any ĄЙd̶̲̥̅̊ all stories not withstanding however stupid. The Judge will have his handsom reward!

This is what the law says


12. (1) No person shall be required to declare at
the port of entry into Nigeria any foreign
currency unless its value is in excess of US $
5,000 or its equivalent.
(2) Foreign currency in excess of US $5,000 or
its equivalent, whether being imported into or
exported out of Nigeria, shall be declared on the
prescribed form for reasons of statistics only.[\b]

So something was hidden and even after the judgement, someone is still covering up something. Think of it, TJ could easily have decared all the cash but all the cash was not 'pure cash'.

T hanks for that observation,the guy made me lose interest in the topic.

(Man Caught With $7million To Forfeit 25 % To FG)

See wayo for 9ja? 25% to the Government, because the money came from the Government.. Why didn't they confiscated the whole amount? See Jona Government! "Animal in Craze-man Skin"- Fela

The person that declared and disclosed what he had to the police last time was killed by the same police.

I no blame him at all.

the source of the money should be a concern not the percentage(%) derivable.if the source is legitimate,it'll amount to unholy distortion by FG rather appropriate sanction as defined by law should apply.

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?

bad belle inc,you think everyone waits for month end to collect salary?people make billions legit.the guy should pay his tax and get his money back

1025: 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.

poverty mentality dey worry u,aim for the moon,if u miss u get the stars,legit of course,u think the ten ten kobos abokis get per dollar no reach to become milas,people make money legitmately

The professional quoters would quote whole topics, make few senseless words and end the sage with annoying avatar. They waste peoples time and also waste my freaking bandwidth. The MODs should try and put mechanisms in place to stop such quoting of long topics.

Hehehehehehehehe,I love this country!

Justice C.J Aneke gave the order after the 25-year-old man pleaded guilty to a charge of non-disclosure of the total sum of money in his possession, during checks at the airport.

It will be recalled that Tijani a Dubai bound traveler, and an international business tycoon, was arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), for being in possession of the total sum of $7.5 Million.

Ogundare pointed out that it would be a shame on the family of the accused, if their son was committed to prison, more so as he was a youngster.

In his judgment, Justice Aneke held that he has taken into the consideration the fact that the accused is a first offender and a very young man.

How does a 25-year-old man qualify to be called an "international business tycoon" ??
