Son of Governor Sule Lamido of Jigawa State, Alhaji Aminu Sule, arrested at Kano Airport over alleged money laundering.

The Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) has granted administrative bail to Aminu Sule, the eldest son of the Jigawa state Governor Alhaji Sule Lamido.

Aminu, arrested at the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport Kano (MAKIA) for alleged money laundering, was granted bail yesterday by the anti graft agency.

EFCC Spokesman, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren confirmed to THISDAY on phone that Aminu had been granted bail, but other sources told us that charges have been prepared against the embattled son of the governor who will be charged to court on a later date.
