INEC Commissioner, Lai Olurode, not a politician – Jega
Independent National Electoral Commission Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega, on Wednesday said the Labour Party’s allegation that the commission’s National Commissioner, Prof. Lai Olurode, is a member of a political party.
Speaking in Akure on Wednesday during a stakeholders’ meeting, Jega said INEC’s had found out the claim was meant to smear the commissioner’s integrity.
He stressed that none of INEC’s workers had any affiliation with any political party.
Jega said,” Your allegation is spurious. No member of INEC is a member of any political party.
“If you have any evidence to support your allegation, provide it. We will do the right thing.
“But our investigation has shown that your claim is spurious.
“We don’t take any allegation as spurious immediately it is made. We investigate every allegation.”

EFCC advises travellers not to exceed $10000 forex limit
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Sunday advised persons travelling out of Nigeria not to exceed the statutory $10,000 foreign exchange limit.
EFCC Secretary, Mr. Emmanuel Akomaye, who gave the advice in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja, said any traveller carrying any amount above the limit should be prepared to declare it to Customs.
Akomaye blamed Nigeria’s fraud, terrorism, money laundering and drug vulnerability on its cash-based economy and commended the National Assemby for showing commitment to strengthening Nigeria’s anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism laws.
The commission on Thursday arrested a 24 year-old Nigerian, Abubakar Tijani Sheriff, for allegedly attempting to travel out with the sum of $7 million (N1,120,000 billion).
He was arrested at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos as he was trying to travel to Dubai aboard a United Arab Emirates flight.
After his arrest, he said that he had a total sum of $4.5million.
But when he was thouroughly searched, he was found to have $7,049,444 on him.
He later confessed that he was a courier for 20 individuals who hired him to take the money for them to Dubai.
Authorities said they were working on the theory that he was a money laundering courier.
He has reportedly named 20 individuals who sent him on the errand.
