SIX persons, including a Bureau de Change (BDC) operator, have been arrested for allegedly trying to swallow $156,000 in a money laundering bid.
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) Joint Task Force (JTF) smashed the money laundering syndicate at a hotel on Airport Road, Ikeja, Lagos.
This is the second suspected money laundering case involving a BDC operator in two months.
The suspects are: Kingsley Nwokenta, the BDC operator, who is also known as Buchito, Augustine Onwuasoanya and Christian Ifor, who are based in Brazil.
Others are Emmanuel Nwokenta, Ikenna Ezenwa, and Uzoma Ezenwa, the hotel manager.
