The total haul is about N250 million at the prevailing exchange rate at the parallel market.

The interception followed information that about N250 million cash was being moved somewhere in the market for conversion into foreign currencies by unnamed persons.

Operatives responded in a timely manner, met the money in a Bureau De Change office, but a large chunk of it had been converted into Euro and Pounds sterling.


The BDC operators found in possession of the monies claimed they were acting on behalf of their boss who sent the money to them from one of the Northern states in Nigeria.

Two persons apprehended in the course of the raid are helping the Commission in its investigation.
