These are the faces of the six members of a suspected
money laundering syndicate that were arrested yesterday at the Excel Oriental Hotel,
along Airport Road in Lagos by officials of the NDLEA for swallowing US$156,000 which is about N32 million.
The syndicate
specializes in swallowing dollars in a bid to by-pass
anti-money laundering operatives at the airport. The men identified as
Kingsley Nwokenta, a bureau de change operator also known as Buchito;
Augustine Onwuasoanya, 54, and Christian Okoli, 35, both based in
Brazil; Uzoma Ezenwa, 33, a hotel manager; Ikenna Ezenwa; and Emmanuel
Nwokenta. Inset is a photo of the dollars wrapped for swallowing.
