Barely a week after another passenger with 108 debit cards was arrested at Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos, NDLEA has arrested another set of travellers with 89 debit cards.

Over the weekend, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, nabbed Nweke Pauline Osita, 40, with 65 debit cards and Egesiokwu Frank Chukwudi,41, possessing 24 debit cards.

The two men conspired with other people to dodge scrutiny from government agencies by opening various bank accounts with the aim of using the debit cards to withdraw money on a daily basis abroad.

This is a money laundering approach where different debit cards are used to withdraw money in order to go against the maximum amount of cash an individual is permitted to withdraw in a day.

P.S. They said they are likely to spend 170 years in jail. I hope they have a good reception when they get out.
