The owner of the much talked about N49 million recovered by the operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Kaduna zonal office, on Tuesday, March 14, 2017 is yet to ‘show face’ as the said amount found in five large black 150kg colored BUHU sacks has been taken over by the anti-graft agency.
The story of how the loot was discovered after a tip off was revealed on EFCC’s Facebook page on Tuesday.
During a routine baggage screening, five sacks were sighted unattended and without tags containing fresh bulk items suspected to be money.
Upon examination, the bags were found to contain fresh crispy naira notes of N200 denomination in 20 bundles totaling forty million naira and N50 denomination in 180 bundles totaling nine million naira with seal purportedly emanating from the Nigeria Security and Minting Plc (NSPM) as seen in the labeled sealed packs.
Investigation into the case is in top gear to unravel the culprits behind the attempted illegal movement of the cash.
