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.
