The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)
is trailing the owner of N448.85 million discovered in a
shopping plaza in Lagos State, spokesman of the
commission in Lagos, Mr. Sam Amadin said.
In an interview with newsmen on Saturday, Amadin said
the agency was making efforts to reach the owner of
the complex, with a view to knowing who rented the
said shop 64.
“The shopping plaza, from preliminary investigation, was
built by estate developers. From the developers, we will
get the owner of the money.
”The people around the complex know the owner of the
money. The place has not been in use for a long time,
the owner only sneaks into the place and keep the
money. We will find the owner very soon, “ Amadin
assured.
The commission, on Friday in a statement confirmed the
recovery of N448,85million in a shop at the LEGICO
Shopping Plaza, in Victoria Island, Lagos.
Operatives of the commission, acting on a tip-off by a
concerned whistleblower, swooped on the shopping
complex and sought the identity of the owners of two
shops, LS 64 and LS 67, which were under lock and key.
“The shops had the signage of a Bureau de Change.
Inquiries about the owner of shop 64 indicated that he
had not been seen for a long time, as neighbours
claimed the shop had not been opened for business for
close to two years.
“The attention of the plaza’s Chairman and some traders
were drawn in order to force the shops open.
“There was no money found in shop 67, but in shop 64,
heaps of Ghana-Must-Go bags were found on the floor of
the shop.
“ When the bags were unzipped they were found to
contain bundles of Naira notes totalling N448. 85million.

Jose Mourinho explains who his one-finger celebration was aimed at

Posted By
Jose Mourinho certainly didn’t hide his emotions after winning the Europa League with Manchester United. After his side triumphed over Ajax 2-0, the Portuguese boss celebrated wildly. Mourinho was seen embracing his son, whilst telling all of his players to hold up three fingers to signify their fairly underwhelming ‘treble’ of the Community Shield, EFL Cup and now the Europa League. But there was one action that nobody could quite understand. Immediately after the final whistle, Mourinho could be seen shaking his index finger rather passionately at the crowd. But what did it mean? Did he mean this was the first major trophy of his spell at United? Did it mean that he was still the Special One? Or was it a message to the victims of the Manchester attacks on Monday? Well, none of the above, actually. Mourinho has actually revealed exactly who his one-finger celebration was aimed at. Mourinho explains his celebration "It's for my family," Mourinho sa...

Awaiting the death and burial of recession

Judging by how confident the governor of the Cen­tral Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Mr Godwin Emefiele was as he made the announcement, we can only but agree that, all things being equal – like econ­omists the world over always posit – Nigeria will be out of recession latest by the third quarter of this year. Accord­ing to his well-heeled argu­ment, there was nowhere else for the nation’s beleaguered economy to head on account of the abiding positive indica­tors but out of recession. Who indeed would doubt him with inflation trending down­wards, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) improving and foreign exchange going to the real sector as and when needed? What is more! This opti­mism is no less supported by the recent release of the na­tion’s economic position by the National Bureau of Statis­tics (NBS). According to the release, though the nation’s GDP con­tracted by 0.52 per cent in the 1st Quarter of 2017 repre­senting the fifth consecutive quarter of contraction since the first quarter...
