Two Nigerians, Damian Akamelus and Prophet Cyprian Chigere are also being interrogated in connection with the seized money”.</p><br /><p><img alt="packs-of-oats" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-285032" height="200" src="http://ift.tt/1JyEW9r" width="404"/> </p><br /><p>The NDLEA Director of Assets and Financial Investigation, Victoria Egbase, said the refusal of the South African to declare the money and the manner of concealment were criminal and that the case was being investigated to establish possible link with drug trafficking.</p><br /><p>The suspect, Ms. Nqgula, who claimed to work in a cosmetic shop, said the bag containing the money was given to her by a Nigerian in South Africa.</p><br /><p>“I live in Johannesburg, South Africa”, Ms. Nqgula said in her statement. “I was given a bag by a Nigerian to deliver to one Damian Akamelu. During examination of my bags at the Lagos airport, the money was found inside packs of oats”.</p><br /><p>Commending the officers of the agency for detecting the money, the NDLEA Chairman/Chief Executive, Ahmadu Giade, ordered that the case be investigated to determine the source of the money.</p><br /><p>“One of the mandates of the agency is to identify, trace, freeze, confiscate or seize proceeds derived from drug-related offences or property whose value corresponds to such proceeds”, said Mr. Giade. “I have therefore directed that the case be investigated to ascertain the source of the money”.</p><br /><p>The investigation report is expected to be presented to Mr. Giade for necessary action.</p><br /><p>Meanwhile, officials of the South Africa Embassy are said to be in touch with the suspect.</p><br /></div><br /></div>

From Cash, outfits, to his recently acquired hummer jeep. He explained his reason to Nigerian Tribune<br/> </p><br /><blockquote class='tr_bq'>I displayed the money I was paid for a show where I only performed for five minutes. It was one of the many good things God did for me last year. I am grateful to Him. I think it is a personal thing for me. If I flaunt my wealth on social media, I do it because I have got what to flaunt. I am not saying those who don’t display it don’t have. Sometimes you just want to appreciate God for what He has done for you and to encourage your fans, especially those who are going through some hard times that there is more to life to than what they are currently passing through.”</blockquote><br /></div><br /></div>
