Ali Baba

The pioneer of Nigerian Comedy, Ali Baba has used his Instagram page to react over the ₦49 million discovered by the operatives of EFCC at the Kaduna Airport, on Tuesday, March 14.

See what he typed below:

“Sometimes ago, I wrote about how cash movement drove up the exchange rate of the dollar. I smiled when I saw this. Not because it is amusing, but because I know that bit by bit, we will get it right.

“Remember when there was no BVN, monies will leave government accounts and enter a non-government account and disappear. No traces. But not anymore. In fact you will be amazed at the number of abandoned accounts that people have refused to verify.

“They cannot link those accounts to their BVN. Yawa will gas. So what have they resorted to? They have resorted to hiding the monies in soak away, Graves and tombs, abandoned buildings, etc.

“Trust me, if that money had been converted to dollars, one hand bag or hand luggage is all it would have required. And again, do you know how much of such cash movement helicopters have done across the country?

“But instead of how to make laws to check all these, it's uniform of the CG of customs that is the problem. What laws have been made stem the onslaught of piracy and kidnapping? Or to check corruption.”
