Supreme Court Upholds Conviction of Ex-Jigawa Governor’s Son Over $40,000 Undeclared Cash
The Supreme Court of Nigeria has dismissed the appeal of Aminu Sule Lamido, son of former Jigawa Governor Sule Lamido, affirming his conviction for failing to declare $40,000 in cash while leaving the country. The apex court ruled that lower courts properly evaluated evidence and applied the law. Aminu was first arrested in 2012 by EFCC at Kano Airport, having declared only $10,000 of the $50,000 in his possession. He was sentenced by the Federal High Court, and subsequent appeals to the Court of Appeal and now the Supreme Court were all dismissed, ending his long-running legal battle.
