The
duo was picked up in their separate homes in Kano on Thursday’s night
and were flown to Abuja by the Anti-graft agency for further
investigation.
According
to the sources of Saturday Vanguard, Mustapha Lamido, alumnus of
University of Abuja, and his elder brother, Aminu Lamido, who is also a
2010 mass communication graduate from Bayero University Kano, were been
investigated for alleged money laundering to the tune of N11billion.
The
development is coming on the heel of arrest and conviction of Aminu
Sule Lamido July 12th 2013 by a Federal High Court in Kano for
laundering $50,000 US Dollars.
The
Governor of Jigawa state, who has already arrived to Sokoto ahead of
Saturday’s Rotimi Amaechi faction of Governor’s forum retreat, was
forced to return to Abuja to confront the development.
“I
must confess to you that Lamido is completely shattered by the
development and has sacrificed every other schedule at the moment to
confront the emergency.
“Lamido
is too passionate about his children and he would do everything at this
trying moment to secure their freedom,” a source close to the Governor
revealed.
Mr.
Wilson Uwujaren, the EFCC spokesman, confirmed that two persons were
arrested in Kano for money laundering, and investigation was on.
In
the meantime, uneasy calm pervades the ancestral home of Lamido Friday
as the news filtered in that their District head popularly referred to
as Hakimi, Mustapha Lamido and his elder brother, Aminu Sule has been
nabbed by EFCC over money laundering.
Most
respondents who appeared piqued by the turn of event were of the
opinion that the arrest was politically motivated as they stressed that
“we believe in prayers and we would take our case to God for his
intervention”.
