Nigeria - The EFCC has foiled two attempts to claim some funds seized by the NDLEA being allegedly laundered by ex NHIS boss Thomas Bamidele.
About $2bn was seized from a bureau de change operator and the funds had been in the custody of the EFCC.
However two different persons have showed up at the Lagos office of the agency to claim the cash.
One of the impostors, a man, who showed up to claim ownership of the money, later confessed to EFCC operatives that he was hired by some persons he didn’t name to retrieve the money from the commission.
His claim was said to have been punctured by the EFCC team and he was subsequently arrested.
Similarly, a lady was also said to have appeared at the Lagos office of the EFCC, claiming that she was the one that gave Bamidele the money.
The lady was said to have made repeated calls to the supposed owner of the money who failed to fulfil his promise that he would meet her at the EFCC office.
When she realised that her partner had failed her with the refusal to appear at the commission. She was also said to have pleaded for mercy especially when the operatives confronted her with facts from Bamidele.
