A story made headlines on Nairaland about the Nigerian Drug Law Enforcement Agency intercepting $2.1m here https://www.nairaland.com/2437137/ndlea-intercepts-man-moving-2.1million

Well, unfortunately the story is not true. Take a look at the points illustrated on the following pictures

The "NK" on that banner is LIKELY to be an insignia of the word "BANK" meaning that the photograph was taken in a bank.

Secondly, the counting machine on the table near the said Dollars is used mostly in banks and other institutions.
What in the world will a counting machine be used for in the NDLEA for? Counting marijuana leaves??


The composure and relaxed gait on the face of the "suspect"

You can see that the face of the man is so relaxed as he is absolutely under no pressure or tension at all. This man has the expression of someone who was just told to pose for a photo just for leisure

The said "suspect" has no name: As i noticed, no name was given to the suspect. At least, we all know that when criminals are apprehended, their names and where they come from is usually the first thing to grace the news.

NDLEA is not an agency that checkmates money laundering: Since when did the Nigerian Drug Law Enforcement become saddled with the responsibility to intercept cash instead of narcotics? Secondly, Sahara Reporters did not clearly state what intent the money was being transported by the suspect. Was it the proceeds of a drug sale or evidence from a drug bust?

Finally, no other REPUTABLE Newspaper Online carried the news: I ran a check and found out that the news was not carried by notable online tabloids like Vanguard, The Sun News Online, Punch Online etc but only Sahara and other blogging sites. This shows the authenticity of that story is questionable.

Sahara Reports is known to be serving fake headlines which have been swallowed ignorantly by gullible Nigerians. For them to post this kind of story can be damaging to this man and he could take serious legal action against them.

The story is absolutely false and should be disregarded!

i don hear

Sahara desert reporter eeeee!!!

oya we done hear! Op abi him send u msg with 100 dollar ni? Lol!

Not at all but i have noticed that most stories posted by Sahara Reporters reeks nothing but falsehood and this is very wrong especially for a very popular media platform like theirs. Imagine what it could do to his reputation and even his safety?

What if the man is into Forex or he was sent by his employers to cash or deposit that money hence his presence in that bank and now this damaging report? It could put him in danger.

Front page again

Dedicate this to all Engineers on this page...

Nice observation.

Is this not Sahara reporters some people believe their stories like their lives depending on it

Wrong analysis

[b]The Bank in question is the Union Bank according to the picture. The NDLEA needs to use a bank in verifying the authenticity of the currency since they are not trained to do so. They also need to confirm the total amount, or were you expecting them to count the money with their hands?

The NDLEA can also use a bank counter, since they need to put the money is safe deposit pending the outcome of the arrest. If the culprit is innocent or not, the headline says arrested not prosecuted. Releasing the name of an innocent person is a wrong way to go about it, until the case is solved and the culprit is proven guilty, it is wrong to publish someone's name.

The demeanour of the culprit is calm because of the information he's privy to. Maybe he is a front for a Governor somewhere, or even a government agency.

The NDLEA can track huge cash movement, if its part of an ongoing investigation related to drug trafficking.

The other online news mediums might not even know about the case until NDLEA parades the suspect, which is not the case as he was just caught. [/b]

Finally, don't jump into conclusions about the case unless you're there when it all played out.

I learnt a long time ago to always verify any news I read that has sahara reporters as it's source. I just wonder the style of journalism they practice....

What if NDLEA took the man to the bank to ascertain if the money was genuine or not?

THIS SPACE IS NOT FOR SALE

[s]NDLEA is not an agency that checkmates money laundering: Since when did the Nigerian Drug Law Enforcement become saddled with the responsibility to intercept cash instead of narcotics? [/s]

Decryptor

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) is a Federal agency in Nigeria charged with eliminating the growing, processing, manufacturing, selling, exporting, and trafficking of hard drugs. The agency was established by Decree Number 48 of January 1990. The NDLEA is present in international airports, seaports and border crossing. It tries to eradicate cannabis by destroying plantings. The NDLEA also targets the leaders of narcotics and money laundering organization[i][/i]
