Ten (10) forex fraudsters has been apprended by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Kano.
Fraudsters allegedly forged travel documents to procure foreign exchange from commercial banks in Kano.
They were apprehended around Fagge and Gwammaja areas following intelligence about their fraudulent activities.
They will be charged to court when investigation about their activities are concluded, EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren said.
EFCC Chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa, has advocated strict compliance with laws promoting public accountability and the fight against corruption in Nigeria.
During a roundtable meeting organized by the Premium Times Center for Investigative Journalism (PTCIJ) in Abuja, Bawa spoke through the commission’s Director of Public Affairs, Osita Nwajah Saying that while Nigerians enjoyed comparing the country’s system with others abroad, those countries were not doing anything extraordinary other than enforcing rules and regulations.
“A society where enforcement is jaundiced or non-existent is inevitably sucked faster into the black hole of a failed society.
“There is no better prevention tool than a vigorous enforcement regime, one that is applied across the board in strict adherence with extant laws”, Bawa stated.
