The Bauchi State office of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission has arrested one Hassan Ahmad, who was allegedly conveying N2million cash for a politician.

The N2million found in Ahmad’s possession consisted of both old and new currencies, despite the naira scarcity witnessed across the country.

The suspect was arrested on Friday by the Troops of 33 Artillery Brigade Operation Safe Conduct deployed to Alkaleri in Bauchi State and handed over to the Bauchi State Office of the anti-graft agency.

Ahmad was in possession of N900,000 cash in new naira notes and N1.1 million in old naira notes and the funds were being conveyed in a tinted black Hilux vehicle with registration number JMA 85 AZ.
