Governor Sule Lamido of Jigawa State on Thursday denied reports in the media that his son, Aminu, who was arrested at the Aminu Kano Airport, Kano on Wednesday, was laundering money for him.
Here is what the governor said about the controversial issue:
“Aminu Lamido had a daughter born with spinal chord problem and was taken to Cleopatra Hospital in Cairo, Egypt last year. She was in the hospital for three weeks for treatment and was asked to be returned after three months for the second phase of the treatment and this was done about four months ago.
“At the end of the second phase of the treatment, they were asked to return to the hospital for examination after three months. It was on the third leg of the visit that Lamido was arrested by the EFCC while trying to board the Egypt Air on Tuesday.
“The impression the EFCC gave that he embarks on several trips abroad on money laundering on my behalf is therefore false and mischievous to that extent.”These politicians will always come up with a story to cover up their evil acts yet state funds are missing and others are using millions of Naira to renovate toilets and classroom blocks.
You may wish to know that Aminu was arrested by operatives of the EFCC and the Nigerian Customs Service for being in possession of $40,000 which he did not declare at the counter on his way to boarding an Egyptian Air plane to Cairo.
