Tension mount in Onitsha Main Market, Anambra state (Nigeria) as operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) stormed the market after arresting seven traders at the Enugu International Airport for alleged money laundering.
It is reported that the development sparked fears especially among importers and operators of Bureau de Change in the market.
A source said the arrested traders who were traveling either to China or Dubai were carrying with them dollars more than the stipulated approved amount for those traveling outside Nigeria, adding that some had $100,000, while others were in possession of $60,000. The officially allowed maximum travel allowance is $5000. Source: Sun News
