BDC operator on the run after allegedly stealing $737,000
Detectives from both Lagos and Kano states have launched a manhunt for a 36-year-old Bureau De Change operator, Abubakar Mannir, who allegedly absconded with $737,015.00 belonging to an Indian national, Manas Das, in Kano.
Police spokespersons in both Kano and Lagos have confirmed that a manhunt is underway for the suspect in connection with the theft.
The victim, identified as the Chief Executive Officer of Allkraft Technology and Industries Limited, had contacted Mannir for the purchase of $900,000.
Mr Das transferred the naira equivalent from his company’s Zenith Bank account to the BDC operator in December 2023.
