The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission convicted 23 unlawful Bureau De Change operators and naira racketeers in the previous month, while also arresting and arraigning 170 others for identical offences.
The EFCC Special Task Force also detained 116 unlicensed BDC operators and currency racketeers in Enugu State during a huge crackdown.
During the Enugu clampdown, the EFCC collected N110.7 million, $8,368.00, £145.00, €2,725; 900 South African Rand; 32,000.00 CFA; 100 Turkiya; and 500 Bank Mozambique currency.
The EFCC also revealed that the International Criminal Police Organisation, the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the United States, and the governments of the United Kingdom, Northern Ireland, and Kenya are assisting in the extradition of Binance Holding Limited executive Nadeem Anjarwalla in connection with an ongoing alleged $35,400,000 money laundering investigation.
Details of the development were revealed in an EFCC document titled “EFCC Alert,” approved by the commission’s Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, and received by our reporter on Tuesday.
