By

The whistle blowing policy of the Federal Government appears to be paying off as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Wednesday announced that it uncovered foreign currencies and Naira notes to the tune of $43.4 million, £27,800 and N23.2 million at a four-bedroom apartment in Ikoyi, Lagos. The total amount of money recovered at the current Central Bank exchange rate is over N13 billion. The operation followed a confidential information received by the Commission's Lagos office regarding some suspicious movement of bags in and out of a particular apartment in the building. Another source who is conversant with the apartment indicated that a woman usually appeared on different occasions with 'Ghana Must Go' bags, the EFCC said. "She comes looking haggard, with dirty clothes but her skin didn't quite match her outward appearance, perhaps a disguise", the source said. On getting to the building, operatives who were armed with a search w...

Labour 'tried to cover up rape' Party official suggested allegation would harm my career, says female activist Bex Bailey said she was discouraged from reporting the alleged attack A senior Labour official tried to cover up the alleged rape of a member of staff at a party event, it was claimed yesterday as the Westminster sex scandal deepened.
