The syndicate was busted at Wuse Zone 4, Abuja, following actionable intelligence the commission received.
“They will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded,” Uwujaren noted.
Last month, the anti-graft agency threatened to arrest Nigerians hoarding dollars and other foreign currency.
Also in July, the EFCC operatives raided Wuse Zone 4, federal capital territory, Abuja, over allegations that some bureaux De change operators are mopping up foreign currencies
