Nigerian Government has unveiled the names of Kano based Bureau De Change operators who were allegedly facilitating the transfer of money to Boko Haram terrorists.

The Senior Special Assistant To The President On Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu has last month alleged that some Nigerians transferring money to the sect from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) were working with the BDC operators.

“Bureaus de change are facilitating money to terrorists. We have already worked with the UAE. Convictions have been achieved of Nigerians who are transferring money to Boko Haram terrorists and this also happens domestically. And I tell you that by the time we finish this investigation, the shocking details will surprise many Nigerians,” Shehu had said.

According to Daily Trust, the prominent among the BDC operators arrested in the state are; Baba Usaini, Abubakar Yellow (Amfani), Yusuf Ali Yusuf (Babangida), Ibrahim Shani, Auwal Fagge, and Muhammad Lawan Sani (a gold dealer)

Four of the arrested BDC operators are related to two persons jailed in Dubai last year on similar charges.
Those arrested are being kept in military and DSS facilities in Abuja and other places.
