Following the CBN forex restrictions , many businesses couldn't find a means to meet up with fx funding for their businesses, so ATM cards were substitute and it became the only way to access dollar abroad.
So many people use friends and families accounts for the atm withdrawal abroad.

Why the arrest and open trial in the media by NDLEA ?

Is it a crime to travel with cards even though the owners are aware of the cards?

Why is ndlea making big fuss about it?

Choi .....how can one person travel with one hundred ATM cards and expect NDLEA or Customs to start applauding you? Especially not bearing the carrier's name (even bearing your name sef).

I understand the need to use same to withdraw abroad more than the daily $300 but then it could belong to unsuspecting Bank account owners whose accounts are being drawn illegally.

Those cards belong to them and their friends including families who can be trusted.
Why is NDLEA parading them as if they are convicted criminals?
What law incriminate the act of traveling with multiple cards?

What is the way out for businesses that can't access fx if you are stopping every avenue for them to source fx for their legitimate business?

Please I need to be enlighten if I'm missing something.
