JIGAWA STATE GOVERNOR'S SON REMANDED IN PRISON FOR MONEY LAUNDERING

Aminu Sule Lamido, the eldest son of the Jigawa State, Sule Lamido

A judge at a Federal High Court in Kano, ordered Aminu Lamido, the eldest son of Jigawa state governor, Sule Lamido, to be  remanded in prison custody pending his ruling on his bail application on Tuesday following his arraignment  today on money laundering charges. Aminu was arrested by the EFCC on December 12, 2012 at the Malam Aminu Kano International Airport for not declaring $40,000 in his possession on his way to board an Egypt bound flight to Cairo.

Glad to see that our legal system is slowly beginning to understand that nobody should be (and is) above the law.
