NDLEA Arrests Man With 108 ATM Cards (PHOTOS)

A 34-year old man suspected to be working for an international criminal organization has been arrested with 108 Automated Teller Machine debit cards. Pascal Udeh‎ was arrested at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, while he was attempting to board a Qatar Airline flight to China.

The debit cards belong to five commercial banks, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency said in a statement on Saturday. Ahmadu Garba‎, the NDLEA Commander at the Lagos airport, said the suspect was arrested in connection with suspected money laundering and was immediately transferred to the Assets and Financial Investigation Directorate of the Agency for investigation.

The NDLEA quoted the suspect as saying that he was asked to take the cards to China. “I am not the owner of the cards,” said Mr. Udeh. “I was told to take them to China and that somebody will collect them from me when I get there.

I have a shop where I sell clothes at Onitsha main market. “I am also a 300-level student of Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka, Anambra State studying History and International Relations. I never knew it would lead to my arrest.”

“The EFCC will carry out further investigation on the case. We must continue to work together as a united force against criminal syndicates.”
