the anti-graft agency suspected that the
huge cash was laundered, the money was discovered in a shop
at LEGICO Shopping Plaza, Ahmadu Bello
Way, Victoria Island, Lagos.
“Acting on a tip-off 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 lock and key.
“The shops had signages of Bureau de
Change. Inquiries about the owner of shop 64
indicated that he had not been seen for a
long time, as they claimed the shop had not
been opened for businesses 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
totaling N448,850,000.
“Traders interviewed at the premises claimed
they were not aware that such money was
housed inside the shop, as the place hardly
opens for business.
“The commission is investigating the matter in
order to unravel the owner and source of the
money.” Uwajaren said in a Press Statement.
