The
National Drug enforcement Agency (NDLEA) officials yesterday arrested a Bureau
de Change operator and 5 other suspected members for allegedly swallowing
$156,000 at Excel Oriental Hotel along Airport Road, Lagos.
Speaking
on the arrest, Chairman of NDLEA, Ahmadu Giade, stated that the suspects had been
arrested in reference to swallowing $156,000.
The
suspects were caught at the hotel as they were busy swallowing the massive sums
of cash with the intention of exporting the aforementioned quantity of cash to
Brazil.
Giade,
who gave his words to hunt down smuggled narcotics and currency, warned that
operators of Bureau de Change who fail to operate within the law guiding them
would be severely sanctioned, enumerating that: “The agency will continue to rely on manpower training and
intelligence-led drug control strategies to out-wit criminal syndicates.”
‘’We shall
take affordable measures to dislodge drug cartels and eradicate narcotics from
our society. Any of Bureau de Change operators that violate the law shall be penalized
consequently.”
