Supreme Court Upholds Forfeiture of $40,000 in Lamido's Undeclared Funds
The Supreme Court in Nigeria upheld the forfeiture of $40,000 undeclared by Aminu Sule Lamido, son of former Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido, to the Nigerian government. Lamido was convicted of money laundering and false declaration after being arrested by the EFCC in Egypt in 2012.
He was found guilty in 2013 and ordered to forfeit the money, leading to a legal battle that ended with the Supreme Court's decision. Lamido had falsely declared $50,000 as $10,000 to the Nigerian Customs Service.
