“We arrested Nweke Pauline Osita with 65 debit cards and Egesiokwu Frank Chukwudi with twenty-four (24) debit cards during screening of passengers on an Ethiopian airline flight to China,” the statement quoted chairman of NDLEA Ahmadu Giade as saying.

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested two suspects in connection with smuggling of Automated Teller Machine (ATM) cards through the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos.

A statement by the NDLEA’s spokesman Ofoyeju Mitchell said Nweke Pauline Osita, 40 years old and Egesiokwu Frank Chukwudi, 41 years old were arrested at the weekend with ATM cards of different banks.

“We arrested Nweke Pauline Osita with 65 debit cards and Egesiokwu Frank Chukwudi with twenty-four (24) debit cards during screening of passengers on an Ethiopian airline flight to China,” the statement quoted chairman of NDLEA Ahmadu Giade as saying.

Giade said that the suspects conspired with others to evade scrutiny from government agencies by opening various bank accounts with the aim of using the debit cards for daily withdrawals abroad.

The director of Assets and Financial Investigation of the agency, Mrs. Victoria Egbase said that the statements of the suspects had been taken under caution and that preliminary investigation points to the fact that the various bank accounts were opened to facilitate withdrawal of money outside the country.

Nweke Pauline Osita, an Onitsha based trader who was caught with 65 debit cards said that the cards belong to friends and business partners.
“I am a trader. I sell men clothes at Onitsha. I was on my way to China to buy goods when NDLEA officers arrested me with 65 debit cards. The cards belong to my friends, relatives and business partners” Nweke stated. He hails from Enugu State and married with two children.

The second suspect, Egesiokwu Frank Chukwudi who has a boutique at Aba, Abia State was found in possession of 24 debit cards. The NDLEA chairman has directed that the suspects be transferred to the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) for further Investigation.

Recently, officials of the NDLEA had arrested a trader, Udeh Onuora Pascal who was travelling to China with 108 debit cards. “The arrests is an indication that smuggling of debit cards abroad is one of the latest money laundering techniques employed to evade financial regulations,” the NDLEA said.

its not, the court will not find them guilty of anything, people be wise,if the cards can be proven not to be stolen then they have no case to answer
if you think out of the Box you will realize they are trying to beat the system o n the daily withdrawal rate of the CBN a law which i think is extremely sill.

ifyalways:
No, I don't think this is money laundering.

The government is frustrating genuine business men and making them look like criminals with some of their money transfer/ CBN limitations, honestly.

But in the story(if you read it_ ) The cards are in multiple names which are claimed to be business partners etc.

Now I can iimagine a man giving hi wife or son o brother his card but when you collect 100 cards of different traders from a cooperatie that is entering a new realm.My interest is in whether such commercial activity is envisaged by any of our laws. It may well be that there is no law and it is a grey area as is often the case with "new" technologies

Wao u jst nail d shit, its true its affecting someone close to me too, 2 b candid she couldnt travel since 2months now, and she goes to dubai, twice in a month. Bt i think thats the best policy,it wont be forever, jst 4 things 2 get better.

erico2k2:

They are just trying to beat the daily withdrawal limits.the probably have 2 weeks Biz visa to china so 12 days to withdraw millions.There is no known laws of the land banning the use of someone else's ATM card with the owners approval as at date not even in the USA or UK.

prophetfire:
This forum is full of ignorant dunces.y do dey do it? The govt's present policy on foriegn currency transactions is destroying their biz and the govt dnt give a damn. The amount they re allowed to transfer is too meager for them, so they use many accounts like these ones to keep biz on. Its circumveting the system quite alright but buhari's govt seem not to have space for struggling small scale importers.

still anyone with such levels will not carry blanks, even my granny wont do that, blanks would be more available in china than anywhere in the world.we nor dey make blanks 4 9ja nah
