Bank staff were counting Nigeria corruption cash for 10 days


Two aeroplanes laden with 1.2bn naira ($3.8m) in cash were used in a cash exchange between top politicians who are currenlty investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Sunday Oluseye, a bank manager, has told that it took bank servants 1o days to count all the cash delivered. Most of the money was in 500 and 1,000 naira notes.

He said: “I got worried when I saw the huge amount of money conveyed by the aircrafts that day.”

Mr Oluseye gave his testimony in Abuja court which is investigating a money-laundering case involving Abiodun Agbele, a close ally of Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state.

The EFCC officials assure that the case is linked to another investigation into Nigeria’s former National Security Adviser Sambo Dasuki.

Recall that Mr Dasuki has been accused of an alleged multi-million dollar fraud in which government funds earmarked to fight Boko Haram were misappropriated.

Meanwhile, Messrs Dasuki and Agbele both deny the charges brought against them by the government’s anti-corruption body.

Is there anything highlighter can't do? It can accentuate your cheekbones, slim your nose bridge and…camouflage wrinkles? "Highlight can be your best friend," said veteran makeup artist  Billy B , who has worked with  Lady Gaga ,  Beyoncé  and  Christina Aguilera . "Once you start having a little bit of texture, like crow's feet, you can use highlighter there, and that reflects the light and takes away from the texture. It's a trick that I use on the red carpet all time...with  Sharon Stone ." If fine lines are years away, here's a tip that can apply to anyone: "Less is more," he advised.
