]Ibrahim Lamorde, chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has stated that currency declaration by travellers out of Nigeria amounted to $12.058 billion in three years.

He made the disclosure in Abuja at the opening ceremony at the opening ceremony of a five-day inter-agency training programme on, Cross Border Financial Investigation organized by the United States Department of Homeland Security.

It was organised for officers of the Nigeria Police Force, NPF; Nigeria Immigration Service, NIS; Nigeria Customs Service, NCS; National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, and the EFCC..

Lamorde said currency declaration in 2012 was $9.9 billion. In 2013, it dropped to $1.324 billion as Nigeria stepped up surveillance at the airports.

“There was a further drop in 2014 as currency outflows recorded an all- time low of $807,585,061.70″.

He called for improved financial intelligence gathering by the anti-graft agency and other law enforcement agencies in the country to check flow of illicit funds, if the war on terror must be won.

“A reputable strategy to fight insurgency is to deprive the insurgents of funds, because there is no dispute that illicit funds movement across borders fuels organized crimes, including terror attacks and insurgency in Nigeria,” Lamorde said.

According to him, “There is an urgent need to strengthen our financial intelligence architecture to enable us effectively monitor cash trails and check illicit cash flow to organized criminal gangs.”

“Up till now, the major concern in the fight against insurgency is on how the insurgents fund their operations within the sub-region.”

“While tremendous progress has been recorded in strengthening the Anti-Money Laundering Regulations and the Compliance Regime in Nigeria, monitoring the movement of cash outside the financial sector, remains a major challenge, because of Nigeria’s predominantly cash-based economy,” he said.

The EFCC boss, also applauded the commitment of the United States government in assisting Nigeria surmount its contemporary challenges through institutional development.

“it is gratifying that this programme is coming a few weeks after the historic visit of President Muhammadu Buhari, to the United State, where he and President Barack Obama pledged to deepen the cooperation and friendship between our two countries”.

Lamorde who said he had always considered the United States as a dependable ally in the fight against economic crimes and corruption in Nigeria, explained that the record of partnership between the EFCC and major US institutions, such as the Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI, United States Postal Inspection Service, United States Secret Service, among others, bears testimony to this.

He said the EFCC has benefitted from many training programmes organized by US agencies in Nigeria, Ghana, Malta, Botswana and the United States. He however described the impact of such exposure on the operations of the Commission as invaluable.

He said while tremendous progress has been recorded in strengthening the anti money laundering regulation and compliance regime in Nigeria, monitoring the movement of cash outside the financial sector, remains a major challenge, considering that Nigeria is still predominantly a cash-based economy.

His solace is however in the fact that the EFCC, in collaboration with the Nigeria Customs Service and the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, have in the last few years taken very bold step to check illicit movement of cash across our borders; where operatives stationed at major international airports across the country have intercepted millions of dollars in cash, which were not declared to customs by their owners.

Deputy Chief of Mission, United State Embassy, Maria Brewer said that the training programme will expose participants to new trends and techniques in combating economic and financial crimes. “Since economic and financial crimes is a global phenomenon, the training will focus among others, on taking away proceed of crime, because when you take away the money, you take away why people do crime”, she said.

Other dignitaries at the opening ceremony included, Benjamin Bryan, acting director, International Narcotics and Law Enforcement US Mission Abuja; Steve Robinson, Attaché, Department of Homeland Security Investigation, DHSI; T. A. Hundeyin, Deputy Comptroller General of Immigration, who represented the NIS boss, and Alhaji Hamisa Lawal, Commander of Narcotics, who represented the NDLEA boss.

Highpoint of the ceremony was the donation of a high-tech counting machine to the EFCC. Brewer, who made the presentation on behalf of the US government, said that it was one way, in which the President Barack Obama-led administration, planned to assist the EFCC and the country at large in fighting corruption.

ocelot2006:
My brother abi oh. And these fools who are busy screaming "corruption" wonder why they still fail their WAEC/GCE exams again.

Barcanista and Co, come and comment o

Was it also Oga Jona that corrupted your tenses?

DIAMO1:
Oga Jo was simply the most corrupted Nigerian president ever...

Face topic abeg.. If we are to make the comparism in truth, OBJ stole a cat and GEJ stole a Tiger..And this is not obasanjo talking, its lamorde..so the comparism is unwarranted. U guys jst can't do without comparing GEJ's regime with OBJ's. Is this ya new way of saying GEJ is not corrupt? Or let's even "assume" OBJ stole more, does that justify GEJ's attrocities?

I am sorry, I had to quote you today...but sincerely you're empty and a disgrace to education and graduates

Did you even read this article you posted...Was it about illicit fund moved away?...

I got this from this article; Ibrahim Lamorde, chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has stated that currency declaration by travellers out of Nigeria amounted to $12.058billion in three years.

Lamorde said currency declaration in 2012 was $9.9 billion.

BTW I saw your post on Oshiomole thread and concluded that you're a nonentity...nothing upstairs...nothing intellectual wise...

sunnyb0b0:
And who told you the monies were stolen money? So a business man, a student, a tourist who travels with cash and declares it at the point if exit is a looter?

The data decreases in the amount of cash taken out of the country as the years go by which is in consonance with developments in our banking industry as regards efficiency of wire transfer and online banking.

Thanks for the enlightment. The stvpidity of some propagandists here leaves a lot to be desired.

Its like you have a difficulty in understanding english language. Since your primary motive for this post is to destroy someone's image sit back and watch how God will destroy yours. Why have you not chosen to highlight the part lamorde said the figure declined in 2013 and further declined in 2014? Is that not suppose to be a credit for Jonathan, please go back to school, hate him or love him Jonathan is a hero to millions of Nigerians and there nothing you can do about ik, if you are not OK with that please get a gun and shoot yourself in the head.

Sack Ibrahim Lamorde now, he's very incompetent. He's only focused on petty yahoo boys while politicians loot billions of dollars under his nose and he pretends not to know because most of the thieves are his people from the north.

The first EFCC chairman (Nuhu Ribadu) was ab*oki, second one (Farida Waziri) was ab*oki and the present chairman (Ibrahim Lamorde) is also ab*oki. Enough of ab*okis, it's time to try an Eastener or a Southerner to see if EFCC will improve drastically.

Don't bother, too many dumbos on Social Media. It takes less than 5 mins to read the article but they just jump and start typing

Have you ever wondered why Propaganda and rumor sell in this country?

sunnyb0b0:
Did you read the article at all?

The monies were not taken out illegally, they were declared. Lamorde was just giving statistical data.

highmood:
just my thought. How could you Larmorde have allowed that to happen during the former regime without saying a word but now you're playing the role of an hypocrite. Its shameful and have proved you failed and cannot be trusted.

He was even sounding as if he wasn't the one in-charge when it happened. I can't wait for his sack to be announced and a possible jail term if found guilty of helping himself out during his watch.

adeyemi2015:
Whether they were declared or not, he should be probed for failing to perform his responsibilities.
Was the money used for the benefits of the Nigerian Masses?
Was the money not looted by the Cabals?
He's receiving Salaries and Arrears to curtail misappropriation of the public fund, not to give analysis on how the money are siphoned through a legal or illegal means respectively!

Truly, you have difficulty comprehending a simple report.

I pity the people under your tutelage.

osimataylor:
Read to understand and not to criticize.He said travellers which might include your father,ur inlaws,business people,politicians,students and even the current APC bigwigs.Do you restrict people not to travel with money?Use your brain.

Mr comprehension didn't you read the part were he said the amount taken out in 2013 dropped after surveillance was stepped up? And who told you it is allowed to just travel out with any amount you like in cash? Have you heard of money laundry?
