Governor Sule Lamido of Jigawa state
One of the sons of the Jigawa State governor, Sule Lamido, was
arrested around 12 midnight at the Mallam Aminu Kano International
Airport as he prepared to board an Egypt Air flight to Cairo.
Aminu Lamido was flagged after he declared $10,000 in his
possession to agents of of the Nigerian customs at the airport. However
further checks by agents of the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) at the airport revealed that he was carrying a lot
of money far higher than was disclosed.
Custom officials at the airport told Reporters that Mr. Aminu
travels frequently with huge wads of cash ostensibly to launder money
on behalf of his father and some officials of the state.
EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren confirmed the arrest to Reporters, saying that EFCC office in Kano will charge the
governor's son to court as soon as practicable.
