The Financial and Economic Crimes Commission (EFCC) has said that it acted on the 2016 money laundering watch-list which contained the name of Dr Doyin Okupe for getting him arrested at the Airport in Lagos.
A statement from the commission signed by Wilson Uwujaren, Head of media and publicity said: “ The Service acted on a Watch-list request issued on July 18, 2016, over six years before his recent conviction on money laundering charges by the Federal High Court, Abuja.
“The Commission was in the process of formally lifting the watch-list before his interception and will expedite action in this regard.
