EFCC Threatens To Arrest Dollar Hoarders As Naira Continues To Fall | Daily Report Nigeria

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has threatened to arrest Nigerians hoarding dollars and other foreign currency.

Abdulrasheed Bawa, the Chairman of the anti-graft agency, made the threat during a meeting with representatives of Bureau De Change operators in Abuja on Friday, August 5.

This is the following the ongoing efforts by the agency to check rising cases of foreign exchange speculation, which had brought pressure on the value of the naira.

He said;

“The Commission has intelligence linking some persons and organisations to hoarding foreign currencies, especially the United States dollars, in key commercial cities of Kano, Lagos, Port Harcourt, Enugu and Calabar.

We warn those involved to desist or risk arrest as a major offensive against the speculators is underway,”

The EFCC boss warned people who are in the habit of hoarding forex to desist or risk arrest as a major offensive against the speculators was underway.

He noted that the meeting was called to fashion out a collaborative stakeholders’ response to brazen foreign exchange speculation, especially at the parallel market, which was hurting the country’s monetary policy by instigating a decline in the value of the naira.

The anti-graft agency noted that similar meetings are planned for Bureau de Change operators in other major commercial cities across the country, including key players, regulators and operators within the Nigerian financial sector.

Since the beginning of August, the dollar has continued to rise in Nigeria’s black market.

Last week, the naira traded at N710 to the dollar in the parallel market. This forced the EFCC to raid some forex markets in Abuja, which saw the currency return to its pre-speculated value.

A few days after security personnel stormed a Bureaux De Change (BDC) hub in Abuja, the naira continued to strengthen on the black-market, moving to N660 per dollar.
