GOVERNOR SULE LAMIDO DEFENDS HIS SON

Jigawa state helmsman and 2015 Presidential hopeful, Alhaji Sule Lamido has moved to dispel rumuor that his 34 year old son who was arrested at the Mallam Aminu International Airport with $40,000 undisclosed to customs official is laundering money on his behalf.

 

Hear him:“For the purpose of removing the notion that he embarked on money laundering on my behalf, I find it necessary to clarify the allegation,” “The impression the EFCC gave was that he had been carrying monies on several trips overseas on money laundering on my behalf is therefore false and mischievous to that extent”.

 

 "Aminu has a daughter born with spinal problem and was taken to Cleopatra hospital in Cairo, Egypt last year, and that the little girl was in the hospital for three weeks for treatment and was asked to return for the second phase of the treatment, which was done about four months ago.

 

At the end of second phase of the treatment, they were asked to return to the hospital for final examination after three months.Adding that it was on this third leg of the visit that his son, Aminu was arrested by the EFCC while trying to board Egypt Air on Tuesday 11th December, 2012 around 11.30pm.

 

The embattled youngman has since been granted bail and probably must have been told to go and sin no more! Governor Lamido,what ever happened to wiring the funds to the hospital in Cairo and better still ,Aminu should have been honest to declare the full amount that he had to the authorities. This is a feeble attempt to defend a blatant money laundry crime committed by the Governor's son.
