The Bauchi State office of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission has taken into custody one Hassan Ahmad in possession of the sum of N2million cash in both old and new currencies amidst the cash crunch being witnessed in the country.
Ogugua said, “Ahmad was in possession of N900,000 cash in new naira notes and N1.1million in old naira notes and the funds were being conveyed in a tinted black Hilux vehicle with registration number JMA 85 AZ.
“The funds, which were packed in a ‘Ghana Must Go’ bag, comprise six bundles of N1,000 new notes of N600,000, six bundles of N500 new notes of N300,000, and old two hundred naira notes of N1.1 million.” Ogugua further noted that further investigation by the commission is ongoing, as the suspect had confessed that the funds were being moved to Gombe State for a politician.All rights reserved.
