EFCC Arrests Atiku’s Lawyer Over $4m cash

EFCC has arrested Uyi Giwa Osagie, the lawyer of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, for alleged laundering $4m which the commission believes to be suspicious election cash.

Osagie was arrested on Monday following the arrest of Alhaji Abdullahi Usman, a BDC owner based in Lagos, who was caught ferrying $2milion by air from Abuja to Lagos.

When the money was intercepted by EFCC, Usman, who owns Hasbunallahu BDC LTD, confessed that Uyi paid naira equivalent of $4million into his account. .

He converted it to $2million pieces and ferried to Lagos, and on arrival took it to Keystone Bank.
