EFCC Finds 4bn Hidden In A Plaza In Lagos by TheBlessedMAN: 12:17am On Apr 08, 2017
The Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission (EFCC), Lagos
zone, this evening uncovered yet
another large sum of suspected
laundered money to the tune of
N448,850,000 in a shop at
LEGICO Shopping Plaza, Ahmadu
Bello Way, Victoria Island, Lagos.
The money stashed in several
‘Ghana Must Go’ bags were in
N500 and N1000 denominations,
hidden in a shop ostensibly
awaiting conversion into foreign
currency.
Relying on information provided
by a concerned whistle blower,
operatives of the Commission
swooped on the shopping
complex and sought the identity
of the owners of two shops, LS
64 and LS 67 which were under
locks and keys.
The shops had signages of
Bureau de Change. Inquires
about the owner of shop 64
indicated he had not been seen
for a long time, as they claimed
the shop had not been opened
for business for close to two
years. Several calls were put to
the owner of shop 67 but there
was no response.
The attention of the plaza’s
chairman and some traders were
drawn in order to force the
shops open. There was no
money found in shop 67, but in
shop 64, heaps of ‘Ghana Must
Go’ bags were found loaded on
the floor of the shop.
When the bags were unzipped
they were found to contain
bundles of naira notes totalling
N448,850,000. Traders
interviewed at the premises
claimed they were not aware
such money was housed in
there, as the place hardly opens
for business.
The Commission is investigating
the matter in order to unravel the
owner and source of the money.
