Shut up. Danjuma is an igbo name. Chinonso is aboki name. Igbos are not criminals.

Money laundering and failure to declare the source of the said money.

You can't come into the country with more than 10 thousand dollars at a time ...all he needed to do was to travel with 5 others passport holders and split the money between them

danjuma, IBB, useni should declare th source of their wealth....rubbish

Reelectbuhari:

Help Efcc for them to suffocate in their iniquities....

Crime is encoded in their DNA

people and crime

Afonja vultures are the problem with nigeria

why all these bashing and hatred for igbos oozing from this thread?
it's obvious that this particular tribe is getting it right that made us and the rest of Nigerians envy them and always jealous
because of their hard works and diligence
when people envy and jealous you just know that you're getting it right.

Truth to be told
when it comes to the most industrious intelligent and beautiful tribe in Nigeria Igbos comes first
then we the North
then other tribes.
I'll always say the truth that's the attributes of a true Muslim
asalamualykum my people

You are very slow bro. Your brain is on sleeping/do not disturb mode. It’s going into coma.

He is probably a business man not a criminal

I wonder how many thousands Buhari took to London, please leave this poor man alone he did not steal the money

Honestly I wonder why he didn't wanna declare such small amount of money.

$52k is a miserable 18 million naira. Not even up to the cost of most reasonable automobiles. By that september, the money would be no where to be found and the case will be swept under the rug. Shebi its nigeria justice style.
