Money laundering: Appeal court upholds Congolese’s conviction, forfeiture of $551,225 to FG

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission had arraigned Blaise on April 21, 2015 before Justice Ibrahim Buba of the Lagos Federal High Court.

Spokesman of the EFCC, Tony Orilade, in a statement, disclosed that, “Lawyer to the EFCC, Abba Muhammed had urged Justice Buba to convict Blaise, following his failure to declare the said $551,225 in his possession to the men of the Nigeria Customs Service at the point of entry into Nigeria.“I am satisfied that those findings are clearly borne out of the evidence placed before his lordship.

“The findings are, to my mind, unassailable. I have no reason whatsoever to tamper or interfere with them. I affirm them accordingly. In the end, I resolve the sole issue in this appeal against the appellant.”
