EFCC and this APC government is very useless.
they just want to use this guys to shine.
i just learnt that Bankers warehouse is registered entity that most banks use to move money by air as against using bullion vans.
now they have revealed these guys faces there by exposing them to kidnappers.i hope this guys sue their ass.

When this news broke, I laughed at how quick we are with breaking news in this country. Quack journalism!
Many banks have outsourced cash movement to BW and even before then banks ALWAYS use flight for cash movement across geopolitical zones. How on earth do we want them to move this cash via road transport in this insane country. I have been involved in CIT operations and know how dangerous the job is and for this idiots to have exposed this guys to the public like is very unfortunate. Even the boxes are CIT boxes. The Security guys should have asked questions before inviting the press.

Meanwhile Vanguard has quickly pulled down the news after discovering the error in the report. Bankers Warehouse when sueing please include them because I saw it on their site before anywhere else.

Have you endeavoured to educate yourself? If yes, then answer this...

Is carrying out cash transactions over a certain limit the same thing as HAVING CASH over a certain limit? Does any law prescribe a limit to the amount of cash you can HOLD? So if you see Davido with N100m in cash, will you arrest him, and if not, why not?

Is there anything in this report that suggests that these two gentlemen were carrying out a TRANSACTION? They were simply seen with cash. Now, for this to be money laundering, then it has to be established that the money was illegally acquired. The mere fact of holding that amount of cash isn't money laundering in itself!

So what exactly will the EFCC charge them to court for? Money laundering? How? You see how useless and incompetent our law enforcement agencies are? Wasting tax payers money on stupid cases.
MONEY LAUNDERING (PROHIBITION) ACT, 2011

An Act to repeal the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act, 2004 and enact the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act, 2011; and for related matters.



ENACTED by the National Assembly of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.



PART I – PROHIBITION OF MONEY LAUNDERING

Limitation to make or accept cash payment.

1. No person or body corporate shall, except in a transaction through a financial institution, make or accept cash payment of a sum exceeding –

(a) N5,000,000.00 or its equivalent, in the case of an individual; or

(b) N10,000,000.00 or its equivalent in the case of a body corporate.

Bros If Davido is moving around with N100million, does he expect to travel to heaven with the money? He will obviously make transactions with the money. The axt says make or accept! Whoever it was that even paid him the money will be in contravention of the law. He will be in breach of anti money laundering laws if he transacts any business with that money. But the authorities can even prempt him and arrest him for attempting to spend money above the limit without passing through a financial institution.

You're talking absolute nonsense young man.

Tell the average aboki or Igbo trader not to hold millions of Naira and USD, accumulated cash proceeds of his legitimate business. And tell him how the law you cited prohibits that.

Read my previous post, slowly. And then read the section of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act you cited, even slower, and then mark the difference between HOLDING cash beyond xyz and Making or receiving CASH PAYMENT beyond xyz....

If you can't grasp the critical contextual difference, then you're as dense as the EFCC that keeps arresting and prosecuting people with weak cases that can't secure convictions.

Lol this is crass ignorance! I suggest you conduct an experiment and stash N5M in your car. Then notify the EFCC and argue with them as to whether holding or transacting differ. Those gentle men caught at the Airport were not transacting anything. They were in possession of an amount greater than the maximum allowed by law to be held or transacted as cash.
Please go and read or go and sleep if you have nothing else to say.
Thanks.

Two guys with $1.4M each in suitcases at the Airport are apprehended. They claim to be staff of a company that transports cash.
There is a procedure for transporting cash through any means oga. Even if it's by air, it is concealed as cargo and transported discretely. No bank or organisation will risk sending a billion naira using 2 people in suitcases! Where is it ever done except in movies?
Please endeavour to laud progress in this fight against corruption. Yes criticise but criticise with sense and factually! Dont assume because you have seen an American movie where one man was transporting millions of dollars in a suitcase means its the norm in real life.

I am not the person you replied but I will like to know why then did South Africa seize our $9m at the airport? Afterall, Nigerian officials were just in possession of it at that point, they had not carried out any transaction.

Why do various countries Customs require passengers to declare any sum above $10,000 or equivalent at airports? They should wait till I transacted with the money now?

I have over ten years experience working in a tier 1 bank and am still in the system. Everything is not politics and fighting Kwarraption my dear. It is procedural for 2 people to accompany the cash on board while the bullion van with security details wait for their arrival at the destination terminal. It's not all the time that cash movement goes with fanfare sometimes it is discreetly done.
